WINTER 2016 JUNIOR BOARD CANCER RESOURCE LIBRARY PAGE 6

"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.

Book Review Highlight: The Death of Cancer

This is an ambitious book about a life-or-

death 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historical document.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.
