President Biden has announced the battle against cancer, a disease experienced by 50% of the population at some point in their lives, as a priority of his administration.This accessible but fastidiously researched book shows how the priorities of the medical system need to be fundamentally redirected in order for this project to achieve success.It argues that rather than investing enormous sums in treatment of late-stage cancer, widespread and persistent screening, education and early treatment provides far better cost benefit results.
