The king of all diseases. Mukerji S.

This epoch -making book is a comprehensive, vividly set forth and deeply founded scientific history of the relations of mankind and cancer, against which the personal stories of war with the "king of all diseases" unfold. Passing the reader through changeable ideas about this disease in different eras, methods of treatment, mans of knowledge of its mechanisms and conflicts of interests around it, the author reveals the reasons for the limited victories over it and outlines the realistic contours of coexistence with it in the future. The eternal dreams of a magic pill of cancer on the pages of the book are opposed by the enemy, so insidious because it is too reminiscent of the distorted reflections of ourselves in its biological perfection.
