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)

读后感
推荐《众病之王----癌症传》，大牛的科普读物。非常严谨，句子也好读，不晦涩。功课做得真足，年份什么的都好清楚。写作线索也非常明析。太喜欢看这种书了。作者是印裔米国人，把米国所有的牛叉学院都上了个遍。这书写了六年。超值。能把人类病史写得好的，还头一回看到。
评分本书的题记上说，美国1/3的女性和1/2的男性会得癌症。这样算来，一对夫妻终生不得癌症的概率仅为1/3，如再考虑双方的父母，一个人在一生中都不接触癌症患者的概率不会超过1/27。中国的数据和美国或有差异，但癌症早已是仅次于心脑血管病的国人第二大死因。考虑到癌症患者的痛苦...
评分这本《The Emperorof All Maladies》作者SiddharthaMukhejee（看名字是印度裔的）是一个肿瘤医生，在他行医过程中，因为需要不断的向患者解释癌症的来龙去脉而诞生了写一本关于癌症这种疾病的传记的想法，并把它非常辉煌地以36万5千字付诸实施，2010年6月成书在美国出版，2011...
评分起初，一个淋巴细胞发现它无法摆脱这个念头：为什么我拥有全套的DNA，却无法自由地有丝分裂呢？ 它苦苦地回溯自己的基因记忆。在它最古老的祖母身上，分明保留了一种和现在完全不一样的模糊光景：胚胎、分裂、增殖、自由、生命…… 但为什么它这个只有短短几周生命的淋巴细胞会...
评分本书的作者有一个非常有禅意的名字，悉达多，与释迦牟尼本人一个名字。相同的名字之外，两者都在往生者和现世人中穿梭，试图捕捉生死无常的真相。读《众病之王-癌症传》有一个多月，被这个疾病的各种意向俘虏。它带来的表象与隐喻，历史与现在，雄心与挫败，民生与政治，孜孜不...

这是一本癌症的传记，这个困扰了人类几千年的疾病。作者是个医生，专业知识扎实，文字又好，功课也做得足。虽然书并不短，但是用四百多页深入浅出的把癌症几千年的历史和近来几百年地医治和研究历讲的生动有力也不是易事。
评分An useful and sombre read.

评分cancer as metaphor. 把目标定为延长生命而非终结死亡
评分继Oliver Sacks之后又一个粉上的医生作家。
