The Man Who Conquered the Incurable: Dr. Sidney Farber (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In 1948, cancer was a death sentence. For children, leukemia was a swift and brutal certainty. Then came Dr. Sidney Farber.

Working from a cramped Boston lab, Farber took an audacious gamble, pioneering the first successful chemotherapy treatment and achieving the world's first temporary remission in a child with cancer. He was the brilliant scientist who became the ultimate political warrior.

This is the definitive story of the Father of Modern Oncology: the demanding visionary who didn't just invent a cure, but created the entire infrastructure to fund it. Through the iconic Jimmy Fund and a relentless lobbying campaign, Farber fundamentally changed American medicine, culminating in the 1971 National Cancer Act-the official launch of the War on Cancer.

Discover the complex, singular life of the man who forced a nation to choose hope over despair. Approx.145 pages, 28500 word count
