Once a certain death sentence and often a cause for shame,
cancer is now a treatable disease. "Cancer" provides a broad
introduction to this complex family of diseases, tracing the
fascinating history of scientific discoveries that led to today's
sophisticated treatments.
This extraordinary new volume, coauthored by three leaders in
cancer research and surgery at Harvard Medical School, uses
scientifically accurate yet accessible language to give readers a
firm grounding in such essential concepts as angiogenesis and the
genetics of cancer. In addition to information about types of
cancer, diagnosis, and treatment, "Cancer" places special emphasis
on new frontiers in research, psychological aspects of a cancer
diagnosis, and quality-of-life issues for those living with
disease. Useful features include a comprehensive glossary, a
timeline of milestones in cancer research, and an appendix for
students on how to pursue a career in science or medicine.
