The story of the new scientific breakthroughs that have revolutionized the treatment of cancer and other terminal illnesses. The author is a world authority on cancer and its treatment. His quest for a cure began in 1968 when a patient of his with inoperable cancer recovered spontaneously. Had the man's immune system somehow killed the tumour? And if so, can the body rid itself of cancer? From this moment on, Dr Rosenberg seized upon immunotherapy as the most promising path towards a cure for the disease. Most recently he has pioneered gene therapy, a technique in which a patient's own genes are altered in the laboratory and then reintroduced into the bloodstream to attack tumours. So far, his efforts have been profoundly encouraging. The narrative has the power and pace of a thriller - a thriller in search of the keys to life itself.

The great moments of scientific discovery all too often occur in the far reaches of the laboratory, hidden from the public eye. The Transformed Cell changes all that. Dr. Steven Rosenberg. Chief of Surgery at the United States' National Cancer Institute, provides an extraordinary glimpse inside the working of the scientific process. Moreover, he tells a story of hope; of a devoted doctor's exciting advances in halting the spread of cancer. Dr Roseberg's quest began in 1968, when he encountered a patient, whose cancer had mysteriously disappeared. Could the body itself, he wondered, have mounted a massive immune response to the cancer? From this point on. Dr Rosenberg set out to see if immunotherapy, and later gene therapy, could succeed where surgery, Chemotherapy and radiation had failed. The first successes came in 1984, when viewed a patient's X-ray and saw evidence of tumour shrinkage. Since then, Dr Rosenberg has made headlines around the world for his pioneering treatments that have saved many lives. With a cautious optimism, he tells of the potential of these treatments and of his most recent experiments, the first in history in which foreign genes were inserted into humans. Deeply personal, often anecdotal. This book is written with clarity, compassion and contagious excitement. Over-all an excellent and neat copy.
