The Architect of Modern Oncology: Dr. Jane C. Wright (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dr. Jane C. Wright (1919-2013) rose from the segregated halls of Harlem Hospital to become the first African American woman appointed Professor of Surgery at a major medical institution. In a medical world dominated by surgery, she proved that chemistry could defeat cancer.

Wright did not just advance medicine-she redefined it. She invented the tissue culture method, establishing the bedrock for modern personalized oncology by predicting which drugs would work before treatment began. Her courageous trials with Triethylene Melamine (TEM) and her rigorous protocols for high-dose Methotrexate fundamentally changed the prognosis for millions with solid tumors and pediatric cancers.

This is the essential story of a quiet revolutionary: a brilliant physician-scientist whose lifelong fight for health equity and scientific rigor made her one of the most transformative, yet unsung, figures in medical history. Approx.150 pages, 30900 word count
