About this item
READ THE WINNER OF 9 NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS! “A marvelous book that's packed with knowledge, insight, and hope...he writes with admirable clarity...Get it!"- Kirkus Reviews "This book bursts with good news." Booklife Reviews by Publisher's Weekly
Through vivid storytelling and the use of accessible language and analogies from everyday life, a veteran biochemist and cancer drug developer takes readers inside the research laboratories and cancer clinics where seemingly magical medicines, including immunotherapies and other ingenious medical marvels, are altering the paradigm of cancer medicine and offering renewed hope to metastatic cancer patients.
Skillfully blending two centuries of scientific discovery with the latest breakthroughs in 21st-century biology, the author shows how toxic chemotherapies are being replaced with new classes of precision medicines that target cancer at its molecular roots and stimulate the immune system to seek out and destroy tumors. These drugs are already providing long-term remissions measured in years, and even decades, for those patients fortunate enough to respond to them.
Compassionate and compelling, accessible yet deeply informed, Taming Cancer offers a rare insider’s perspective on a half-century’s progress in the fight against cancer, concluding with an inspiring and hopeful vision of a future when cancer will be managed as a chronic disease, much like rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes. For the most responsive patients, the eradication of cancer cells from the body—the long-sought cure for cancer—will become a reality for increasing numbers of patients.
