Breast Cancer Editorial Review
The Emperor of All Maladies is an informative and well-written book about the history and treatment of cancer. It is a mix of personal cancer stories, doctors struggling with treatment options, and scientists inventing new drugs through trial and error. The book provides a readable and sobering view of cancer through the ages and the progress made in understanding its roots. For those with cancer, this book is informative and can help family members and caregivers dealing with a loved one that has been diagnosed. As a physician and history major, the book was a perfect guide to the history of cancer. Despite its length, it is a page-turner.
