The Fight Against Cancer (Routledge Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine) - Softcover
Book 4 of 50: Routledge Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine
Synopsis
Between the two World Wars an illness that mainly affects adults over fifty years old became so prominent that it superseded both tuberculosis and syphilis in importance. As Patrice Pinell shows, the effect of cancer in France before World War Two reached far beyond the question of its mortality rates. Pinell's socio-historical approach to the early developments in the fight against cancer describes how scientific, therapeutic, philanthropic, ethical, social, economics and political interest combined to transform medicine.
