The must-read summary of "Cancerland: A Medical Memoir," by David Scadden, M.D.

Cancer presents a daunting challenge for patients, caregivers, and science. Most people encountering cancer feel like stepping into a foreign land called Cancerland.

The current state of science and medicine offer us many possibilities—radiation therapy, chemotherapy, stem cell therapy, precision surgery, and therapies relying on engineered viruses and immune cells.

The book leads you through the rapidly changing landscape of Cancerland, from the dawn of the biological age in the mid-1950s to the present. By exploring the science of cancer and stem cells, new therapies, and drugs, the author makes Cancerland more habitable and reveals that progress toward a cure is real.
