520 Cancer touches everybody's life in one way or another. But
most of us know very little about how the disease works,
why we treat it the way we do, and the personalities whose
dedication got us where we are today. For fifty years, Dr.
Vincent T. DeVita Jr. has been one of those key players:
he has held just about every major position in the field,
and he developed the first successful chemotherapy
treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma, a breakthrough the
American Society of Clinical Oncologists has called the
top research advance in half a century of chemotherapy. As
one of oncology's leading figures, DeVita knows what
cancer looks like from the lab bench and the bedside. The
Death of Cancer is his illuminating and deeply personal
look at the science and the history of one of the world's
most formidable diseases. In DeVita's hands, even the most
complex medical concepts are comprehensible. Cowritten
with DeVita's daughter, the science writer Elizabeth
DeVita-Raeburn, The Death of Cancer is also a personal
tale about the false starts and major breakthroughs, the
strong-willed oncologists who clashed with conservative
administrators (and one another), and the courageous
patients whose willingness to test cutting-edge research
helped those oncologists find potential treatments. An
emotionally compelling and informative read, The Death of
Cancer is also a call to arms. DeVita believes that we're
well on our way to curing cancer but that there are things
we need to change in order to get there. Mortality rates
are declining, but America's cancer patients are still
being shortchanged-by timid doctors, by misguided national
agendas, by compromised bureaucracies, and by a lack of
access to information about the strengths and weaknesses
of the nation's cancer centers. With historical depth and
authenticity, DeVita reveals the true story of the fight
against cancer. The Death of Cancer is an ambitious, vital
audiobook about a life-and-death subject that touches us
all.
