6 WINTER 2016 JUNIOR BOARD CANCER RESOURCE LIBRARY PAGE 6 Highlight: The Death of Cancer "The true story of the war on cancer from one of its generals. In The Death of Cancer, Dr. Vincent T. DeVita Jr.-- former director of the National Cancer Institute, former physician-in-chief at Memorial Sloan Kettering, director of the Yale Cancer Center, former president of the American Cancer Society, and developer of the first successful chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma, which first demonstrated that advanced cancers of a major organ system in adults could be cured by chemotherapy--provides a personal history of one of the greatest science stories of our time, covering our fight against cancer from a man who's seen it all. But this is more than a history; it's also a work of advocacy. Despite declining mortality rates, DeVita argues, America's cancer patients are being shortchanged by timid doctors, misguided national agendas, and compromised bureaucracies. He gives readers an eye-opening look at the strengths and weaknesses of America's most prestigious cancer centers, showing how patients can use this information to their advantage. Though we're rapidly approaching total victory over cancer, he contends, we need to do more to synthesize our progress and help doctors put it into practice. This is an ambitious book about a life-ordeath subject, a vital entry into the cancer literature genre. With historical depth and authenticity, DeVita brings important information to readers about what cancer is, how best to fight it, and what we still have to learn"-- Provided by publisher Comments: This is a very interesting book that will challenge some readers ideas about famous cancer institutions and the FDA. Readers should be advised that this is a memoir not a historical document. This book presents DaVita s personal opinions about organizations and individuals who do not have their views aired here. Some of the sections on the development of chemotherapy agents are clinically detailed but most of the book is very readable. by Diane Wolf, Librarian at Gill Community Health Library.
