Excerpt: ... chapter xi cancer and surgery Unt1l the recent inquiries which this book discusses, it was generally recognized that, despite all other promises, there was no means of opposing the growth of cancer but the knife. The local treatment, whether by the knife or caustics, of what is at first a local disease in every case, dates back to the earliest times. At one period during the nineteenth century the view was strongly expressed, and held, that though the manifestations of malignant disease are primarily local, the malady really has its seat in the blood, and that therefore all local treatment is essentially futile. Now it may very probably be true that certain conditions of the blood are highly relevant to the growth of cancer, but no one would as yet again oppose the surgical treatment of cancer on the grounds which were formerly maintained. For many years past, and, indeed, ever since the immortal work of Lister made possible the scientific development of surgery, such advance as has been achieved in the treatment of cancer has been entirely surgical. The solitary exception, perhaps, is that of the treatment by the Rontgen rays of the most superficial and least malignant form of cancer, which is known as rodent ulcer. The surgeons and the pathologists have joined hands to ascertain, in the case of cancer occurring in various sites, the directions in which the disease commonly spreads, and the position of the lymphatic glands in which secondary growths commonly occur. These investigations have led to the devising and making of ever more and more extensive operations. Not so very long ago, for instance, the surgeon was content merely to excise visible cancer of the tongue or lip; now, in addition to doing so, he systematically removes all...

This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, perhaps no other disease has generated the level of social, scientific, and political discourse or has had the degree of cultural significance as cancer. A collective in the truest sense of the word, "cancer" is a clustering of different diseases that afflict individuals in different ways. Its burdens are equally broad and diverse, from the physical, financial, and psychological tolls it imposes on individuals to the costs it inflicts upon the nation's clinical care and public health systems, and despite decades of concerted efforts often referred to as the "war on cancer", those costs have only continued to grow over time. The causes and effects of cancer are complexâ€"in part preventable and treatable, but also in part unknown, and perhaps even unknowable. Guiding Cancer Control defines the key principles, attributes, methods, and tools needed to achieve the goal of implementing an effective national cancer control plan. This report describes the current structure of cancer control from a local to global scale, identifies necessary goals for the system, and formulates the path towards integrated disease control systems and a cancer-free future. This framework is a crucial step in establishing an effective, efficient, and accountable system for controlling cancer and other diseases.

Download or read book The Death of Cancer written by Vincent T. DeVita, Jr., M.D. and published by Sarah Crichton Books. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer touches everybody’s life in one way or another. But most of us know very little about how the disease works, why we treat it the way we do, and the personalities whose dedication got us where we are today. For fifty years, Dr. Vincent T. DeVita Jr. has been one of those key players: he has held just about every major position in the field, and he developed the first successful chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a breakthrough the American Society of Clinical Oncologists has called the top research advance in half a century of chemotherapy. As one of oncology’s leading figures, DeVita knows what cancer looks like from the lab bench and the bedside. The Death of Cancer is his illuminating and deeply personal look at the science and the history of one of the world’s most formidable diseases. In DeVita’s hands, even the most complex medical concepts are comprehensible. Cowritten with DeVita’s daughter, the science writer Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn, The Death of Cancer is also a personal tale about the false starts and major breakthroughs, the strong-willed oncologists who clashed with conservative administrators (and one another), and the courageous patients whose willingness to test cutting-edge research helped those oncologists find potential treatments. An emotionally compelling and informative read, The Death of Cancer is also a call to arms. DeVita believes that we’re well on our way to curing cancer but that there are things we need to change in order to get there. Mortality rates are declining, but America’s cancer patients are still being shortchanged—by timid doctors, by misguided national agendas, by compromised bureaucracies, and by a lack of access to information about the strengths and weaknesses of the nation’s cancer centers. With historical depth and authenticity, DeVita reveals the true story of the fight against cancer. The Death of Cancer is an ambitious, vital book about a life-and-death subject that touches us all.
