The secret history of the war on cancer

From the Publisher: Why has the "War on Cancer" languished, focusing mainly on finding and treating the disease and downplaying the need to control and combat cancer's basic causes-tobacco, the workplace, radiation, and the general environment? This war has targeted the wrong enemies with the wrong weapons, failing to address well-known cancer causes. As epidemiologist Devra Davis shows in this superbly researched expose, this is no accident. The War on Cancer has followed the commercial interests of industries that generated a host of cancer-causing materials and products. This is the gripping story of a major public health effort diverted and distorted for private gain that is being reclaimed through efforts to green health care and the environment.

  • "Relates the story of a major public health effort diverted and distorted for private gain. The "War on Cancer" has cost 40 billion dollars over the past 40 years. It started out as a mission to cure the disease, but avoided fighting its basic causes: tobacco, alcohol, the workplace, and environmental hazards. Epidemiologist Devra Davis's research documents how the tobacco, construction and chemical industries have underwritten research to treat cancer but have sabotaged public health efforts to prevent the disease."@en
