This book began when the author was asked to prepare a lecture about the history of oncology. While preparing the speech, he found that there was not a single monograph describing the history of the field. However, there was a wealth of information scattered throughout the medical literature. These writings turned up some fascinating stories hidden behind ground-breaking studies and discoveries. Moved by these stories, the author was inspired to write this very special book.
