The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee

The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee

Mukherjee is an oncologist, and he wrote this during his fellowship as a way of answering a patient who asked what exactly she was fighting. The answer runs four thousand years, from an Egyptian papyrus to targeted therapy.

Halsted's radical mastectomies, the first chemotherapy in a Boston basement, the tobacco industry's decades of obstruction, the War on Cancer and its disappointments, and finally the molecular understanding that made Gleevec and Herceptin possible. The clinical chapters, with his own patients, carry the whole thing.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. One of the finest works of medical writing ever published.
