The Breast Cancer Wars: Hope, Fear, and the Pursuit of a Cure in Twentieth-Century America Paperback - 2003 - 1st Edition
by Barron H. Lerner
Military metaphors have long been used in promoting breast cancer awareness, prevention, and treatment. Lerner presents a remarkably readable understanding of distinctly American attitudes toward the disease and the ways in which American culture and society have influenced its treatment. Illustrations.
First line
In a medical school amphitheater in 1963, the assembled physicians and students were watching two people: a woman whose breast cancer had been treated with a radical mastectomy fifteen years previously, and her surgeon, who had just summarized her case.
