Dr. Azra Raza Discusses Her Recently Published Book, "The First Cell and the Human Costs of Pursing Cancer to the Last" (November 1st)

Listen Now Dr. Azra Raza's recently published book, The First Cell and the Human Costs of Pursing Cancer to the Last, has been described as a "searing account of how both medicine and our society (mis)treat cancer, how we can do better, and why we must." It has been termed "a clarion call . . . [that] repudiates the approach . . . that biomedical science has taken to attempt to find new treatments and curers." The lack of progress in treating cancer is "an embarrassment" and "equally embarrassing is the arrogant denial of that embarrassment." We spend over $150 billion annually on treating cancer and a patient diagnosed today is as likely to die from the diagnosis as a patient diagnosed 50 years ago.
