Description
“With command and clarity, Dr. Raza indicts the cancer industry with such force that it begs the question: Are we really winning the cancer war? The First Cell is an intricately woven, often lyrical tapestry of anecdote and authority that returns the suffering patient to the foreground of medical innovation. Dr. Raza expertly illustrates the complex choreography of cancer’s nefarious dance, and her fascinating proposal will surely thrust cancer therapy from the twentieth to the twenty-first century.” —Tina Brown, author of The Diana Chronicles
