Ater 50 years on the front lines of medication, a pioneering oncologist discloses why the war on malignancy is winnable - and how we can make it happen. Cancer touches everybody's life in one way or another. But almost all of us know very little about how the condition works, why we treat it the way we do, and the personalities whose determination received us where our company is today. For 50 years, Dr. Vincent T. DeVita, Jr., has been one of those key players: He has organised almost every major position in the field, and he developed the first successful chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma, a discovery the American Modern culture of Clinical Oncologists has called the top research advance in two a hundred years of chemotherapy. As one of oncology's leading figures, DeVita knows what cancer appears like from the lab bench and the bedside. The Death of Cancer tumor is his illuminating and deeply personal look at the science and the annals of one of the world's most formidable diseases. In DeVita's hands, even the most complex medical principles are comprehensible. Cowritten with DeVita's daughter, the science article writer Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn, The Death of Cancer tumor is also an individual story about the bogus starts and major breakthroughs, the strong-willed oncologists who clashed with traditional administrators (and each other), and the courageous patients whose determination to test cutting-edge research helped those oncologists find potential treatments. An psychologically compelling and beneficial listen, The Death of Cancer tumor is also a call to forearms. DeVita is convinced that we're well on our way to treating malignancy, but there are things we have to change to be able to make it happen. Mortality rates are declining, but America's malignancy patients remain being shortchanged - by timid doctors, by misguided nationwide agendas, by compromised bureaucracies, and by a lack of usage of information about the talents and weaknesses of the country's cancer centers.
