The result is what many are calling cancer's \"penicillin moment,\" a revolutionary discovery in our understanding of cancer and how to beat it.\n\nIn The Breakthrough, Charles Graeber guides readers through the revolutionary scientific research bringing immunotherapy out of the realm of the miraculous and into the forefront of twenty-first-century medical science. As advances in the fields of cancer research and the human immune system continue to fuel a therapeutic arms race among biotech and pharmaceutical research centers around the world, the next step—harnessing the wealth of new information to create modern and more effective patient therapies—is unfolding at an unprecedented pace, rapidly redefining our relationship with this all-too-human disease.\n\nGroundbreaking, riveting, and expertly told, The Breakthrough is the story of the game-changing scientific discoveries that unleash our natural ability to recognize and defeat cancer, as told through the experiences of the patients, physicians, and cancer immunotherapy researchers who are on the front lines. This is the incredible true story of the race to find a cure, a dispatch from the life-changing world of modern oncological science, and a brave new chapter in medical history.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1455568481\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1455568481.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Graeber, Charles\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
