Название: The Breakthrough: Immunotherapy and the Race to Cure Cancer Автор: Charles Graeber Издательство: Twelve Год: 2018 ISBN: 1455568503 / 9781455568505 Формат: epub Страниц: 320 Размер: 23,8 mb Язык: English
For thousands of years, physicians observed cases of "spontaneous remissions" from cancer. These sudden and dramatic cancer cures were chalked up to magic or miracle. In fact it was the immune system, mysteriously unleashed.
Now scientists have learned to recreate that miracle with medicines so new that cancer patients- and even many doctors- don't realize they exist.
Four years in the writing, THE BREAKTHROUGH is an "exciting read" about the discoveries which received the 2018 Nobel Prize winning discoveries in October, and a dramatic and exciting turning point in our relationship with a disease that has for too long defined us.
In THE BREAKTHROUGH, Graeber guides us through the surprisingly recent scientific discoveries that change the way we will treat- and maybe even beat- cancer in the years to come.
Amazingly, many patients, and even many doctors, are not fully aware of what many are calling our "penicillin moment" with cancer. With literally thousands of new therapies that harness the power of the immune system to recognize and fight cancer in clinical trials, it's never been more important for patients to understand their choices, and empowered to ask better questions. In the new war against cancer, information is now a crucial weapon.
Groundbreaking, riveting, and expertly told, THE BREAKTHROUGH is a scientific mystery story about the quest to unleash our natural ability to recognize and defeat cancer, told through the experiences of the patients, physicians, and cancer immunotherapy researchers who are on the front lines. This is the incredible true story of the race to find a cure, a dispatch from the life-changing world of modern oncological science, and a brave new chapter in medical history.
