3 quotes from The Emperor of All Maladies

  • "Cancer is not a single disease, but a collection of diseases with different origins, pathways, and cures. This reality challenges our understanding of the illness and informs the complexities of treatment."
  • "The history of cancer treatment is a testament to human curiosity, resilience, and the ceaseless pursuit of knowledge—life itself is a battlefield against illness, one where hope and despair coexist."
  • "Understanding cancer is akin to deciphering a complex code; it requires patience, innovative thinking, and the acknowledgment of the multifaceted nature of human life and disease."

Author : Siddhartha Mukherjee

The author, Siddhartha Mukherjee, is an Indian-American physician and writer, a cancer specialist at Columbia University Medical Center, and an associate professor at Columbia University School of Medicine. He once had a patient with severe abdominal cancer, and at some point in treatment, the patient told the author: "Well, I’m willing to go on, but in order to go on I need to know what it is I’m battling." To answer this question, the author spent 6 years studying historical events, scientific literatures, patient interviews and various other materials. Before he knew it, he found himself writing a book.
