Pressestimmen

“The book is made up of six chapters and moves both chronologically and thematically from the middle of the nineteenth century to the Second World War. … this book gestures towards the troubled relationship between professional self-fashioning and an incurable disease, and in doing so raises many important and timely questions about the role played by cancer in the development of the ideals and practices of modern biomedicine.” (Agnes Arnold-Forster, Social History of Medicine, October, 2017)
