An Arduous Battle Against Cancer | The Emperor Of All Maladies (Siddhartha Mukherjee) BOOK REVIEW

from Mere Mortals Book Reviews · host Kyrin Down & Juan Granados

No easy wins and only tough decisions.'The Emperor Of All Maladies' by Siddhartha Mukherjee is a dense history of cancer throughout the centuries but particularly the 20th. Details breakthroughs in prevention, cure, chemotherapy, surgery, genetics and knowledge/understanding. Told from an American POV so largely uses stats from there whilst also showing how it is a global problem. Has a personal touch of his interactions with patients, scientists who discovered the next step forward and notable activists pushing for change (hence the 'biography').If you got value from the podcast please provide support back in any way you best see fit!Timeline:(00:00:00) Intro(00:02:52) Themes/Questions(00:26:31) Author & Extras(00:30:14) Summary(00:33:25) Value 4 Value(00:34:43) Join Live!
