The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee

5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed reading/listening to the book. There are lots of details that bring together the evolution of treatments. I found it interesting to re-learn of the relationships between many cancers. Targeted therapy is an amazing find and more works needs done. Parts of the book feels like "Grand Rounds" - a medical presentation of disease and its social relationships, the back-story. As a physician treating breast cancer, much of the book was relatable. The narrator did a great job.
