Siddhartha Mukherjee, an Indian-born American physician and oncologist, gives a riveting comprehensive biography of the history of cancer and how our treatment of that vast umbrella of diseases has been propelled by our ever-evolving knowledge. From the writings of Egyptian physician Imhotep, to the evolution of breast cancer related surgery, to attempting to determine when how much chemotherapy is too much, Mukherjee's book explains the events in the long progression of gradual understanding of what cancer is, how it is possibly caused, and how to treat it.
