Now, as cancer becomes an ever more universal experience, the need to understand it, and its treatment, has never been more compelling. In this groundbreaking and award-winning account Siddhartha Mukherjee tells the fascinating story of our relationship with this disease. From brutal early surgical treatments, to Sidney Farber’s hugely risky discovery of chemotherapy, to the author’s treatment of his own patients, he reveals how far we have come in solving one of science's great mysteries and offers a fascinating glimpse of our future progress.

    Very teaching book for those who are personally interested in cancer and its world. Otherwise, it can be boring for the reader.
    Starts from very history of cancer and moves further to present with all the details (sometimes too much) about cause and treatment.
    In general a must read book for those who are interested in anatomy of civilization.

    If cancer is the quintessential product of modernity, then so, too, is its principal preventable cause: tobacco.
