《众病之王:癌症传》 是美国知名医生/作家悉达多·穆克吉的成名作,目前最好的一本癌症科普书,没有之一。 美国PBS电视台以这本书为蓝本,拍了一个3集的纪录片,从化疗放疗,到靶向疗法,再到免疫疗法,回顾了一百年来人类和癌症之间的斗争史。人类面对癌症,从手足无措,到一波三折,再到重燃希望。Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Siddhartha Mukherjee, this three-part series tells the complete story of cancer, from its first description in an ancient Egyptian scroll to the gleaming laboratories of modern research institutions. At six hours, the film interweaves a sweeping historical narrative; with intimate stories about contemporary patients; and an investigation into the latest scientific breakthroughs that may have brought us, at long last, to the brink of lasting cures.
