Cancer Patients, Cancer Pathways: Historical and Sociological Perspectives

By Elizabeth Toon and Carsten Timmermann

Eleven essays by historians and sociologists examine cancer research and treatment as everyday practice in post-war Europe and North America. These are not stories of inevitable medical progress and obstacles overcome, but of historical contingencies, cultural differences, hope, and often disappointed expectations.
