ABOUT THE BOOK

The Emperor of All Maladies not only describes the nature and biology of cancer, it discusses a topic most readers care just as much, if not more about: The possibility of a cure. For close to a century, doctors have been hoping for and working on creating a magic bullet, a single approach or wonder drug that will completely end the war on cancer. Mukherjees book demonstrates that while oncology has made amazing progress in allowing cancer patients longer, healthier, happier lives, the long sought-after magic bullet cure for cancer remains nowhere in sight.

MEET THE AUTHOR

Born in England, now happily living in Durham, NC, I have 15 years experience as a reporter, 20 published fantasy/SF stories and I'm the author of three film reference books, most recently "Screen Enemies of the American Way." I love film, history and science, and I'm involved in theater non-professionally when I get a chance. You can find my blog at http://frasersherman.wordpress.com/

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK

After a prologue recounting some of Mukherjees personal experiences as a rookie oncologist, his biography opens in the year 1947. Mukherjee introduces readers to pathologist Dr. Sidney Farber as Farber waited for the delivery of aminopterin, a drug he believed could help cure childhood leukemiasomething oncologists of the time believed impossible.

Emperor then shifts further back in time to those 19th-century researchers who first realized the white blood cells swarming through some patients veins werent fighting disease: They were the disease. In leukemia, the cancer sits in the bone marrow, churning out defective white blood cells that in turn smother the normal, healthy cells in the blood stream.
