Starred Review. Mukherjee's debut book is a sweeping epic of obsession, brilliant researchers, dramatic new treatments, euphoric success and tragic failure, and the relentless battle by scientists and patients alike against an equally relentless, wily, and elusive enemy. From the first chemotherapy developed from textile dyes to the possibilities emerging from our understanding of cancer cells, Mukherjee shapes a massive amount of history into a coherent story with a roller-coaster trajectory: the discovery of a new treatment--surgery, radiation, chemotherapy--followed by the notion that if a little is good, more must be better, ending in disfiguring radical mastectomy and multidrug chemo so toxic the treatment ended up being almost worse than the disease. The first part of the book is driven by the obsession of Sidney Farber and philanthropist Mary Lasker to find a unitary cure for all cancers. (Farber developed the first successful chemotherapy for childhood leukemia.) The last and most exciting part is driven by the race of brilliant, maverick scientists to understand how cells become cancerous. Each new discovery was small, but as Mukherjee, a Columbia professor of medicine, writes, "Incremental advances can add up to transformative changes." Mukherjee's formidable intelligence and compassion produce a stunning account of the effort to disrobe the "emperor of maladies." (Nov.) (c)

整个阅读过程中我的感情十分复杂,时常会回想起当初在医院照顾爸爸的日子。 这本书写得很通俗很易懂,梳理了人类对抗癌症的历史。在我看来有几个面,从癌症角度,从科研角度,从病人角度,从医生角度,无论从哪个角度来看都有很深的感触。 有时候,不是我们没有努力,而是对手...

这是我迄今为止读过最好的科普书。 毫 无疑问,这是一本工程浩大的经典,一本详实严谨的科学著作,同时,它也是一本史诗般的传记。如果说写作的对象在一定程度上决定写作的结果,那这本书的主题 ——被作者称为万疾之王的癌症,在我看来,应该是长长的人类疾病名单中(其实不...

癌症诊治的古往今来。修辞文雅,用典繁复。历史记载和作者亲身接触的病例的交错出现,让读者持续保持关心。可以作为《不朽的海拉细胞》之后的深度阅读。

评分

cancer as metaphor. 把目标定为延长生命而非终结死亡

评分

结结实实470页,可能是我读过最长的原版non-fiction咯,作者文笔非常好,那么多出场人物,他往往几个形容词就把人刻画出来了。

评分

Cancer. 作者高山仰止。

评分

语言很elegant,内容很充实,病人的故事很煽情。有几个章节有点拖拉。从cytotoxic drugs到antibody那段记得比较清楚。当年的genentech还是很牛的,一片校园风。
