超级科普却又不失阅读乐趣的医学巨著,不愧是普利策将得主!
评分外婆因癌症去世后终于鼓起勇气读了这本书。最深刻的认识是,癌症既是医学/科学问题,也是政治课题,还有着相当重要的经济意义。寻找治疗癌症的方法离不开医生,科学家,游说家,政客,和商人的共同投入。从某种程度上来说,这本书给了我一个和外婆告别的机会,读完之后心理上得到了一定的结束感

Siddhartha Mukherjee is a cancer physician and researcher. He is an assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University and a staff cancer physician at the CU/NYU Presbytarian Hospital. A former Rhodes scholar, he graduated from Stanford University, University of Oxford (where he received a PhD studying cancer-causing viruses) and from Harvard Medical School. His laboratory focuses on discovering new cancer drugs using innovative biological methods. Mukherjee trained in cancer medicine at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute of Harvard Medical School and was on the staff at the Massachusetts General Hospital. He has published articles and commentary in such journals as Nature, New England Journal of Medicine, Neuron and the Journal of Clinical Investigation and in publications such as the New York Times and the New Republic. His work was nominated for Best American Science Writing, 2000 (edited by James Gleick). He lives in Boston and New York with his wife, Sarah Sze, an artist, and with his daughter, Leela.
The Emperor of All Maladies is a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years.
The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist.
From the Persian Queen Atossa, whose Greek slave may have cut off her diseased breast, to the nineteenth-century recipients of primitive radiation and chemotherapy to Mukherjee’s own leukemia patient, Carla, The Emperor of All Maladies is about the people who have soldiered through fiercely demanding regimens in order to survive—and to increase our understanding of this iconic disease.
Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.
《白色巨塔》 山崎丰子的不朽巨著,电视剧也是不可逾越的高峰。可以更深入地了解医生的动机和心态。 《梦想之城》 美国独立战争前后前后的医学世家传记(虚构的),可以看到那个时代的医学面貌。 《冬至草》 另一位身兼癌症专家和作家身份的人所写的作品。
评分印度裔美国医生悉达多•穆克吉曾经在波士顿为一位腹部癌症患者进行治疗,这位病人曾接受化疗,但又复发了,不得不再次接受治疗,她说,“我愿意继续治疗,但是,我必须知道我在对抗的敌人是什么”。从某种意义上来说,穆克吉历时6年完成的《众病之王》一书,就是通过回溯这一...

评分癌症源于我们自身的一些负责调节细胞生长的基础基因的突变。而这种突变基因导致的癌细胞有时会展现出永不停止的分裂。在合适的环境下癌细胞可以一直分裂下去,没有衰老的痕迹,这透露出永生的意味。而这种带着永生意味的分裂却会摧毁我们的身体,带来无可避免的死亡。 这真是...
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...
