La lutte contre le cancer est une histoire humaine : une aventure pleine de découvertes dues au hasard, d’opportunités saisies au bon moment mais surtout une célébration de la ténacité des hommes. Des premiers traitements chirurgicaux, novateurs mais brutaux, jusqu’aux travaux des époux Curie sur les radiations et leur dénouement tragique ; des risques démesurés pris par Sidney Farber dans sa mise au point de la chimiothérapie jusqu’à l’auteur lui-même et au traitement de ses patients, ce livre captivant retrace un combat plusieurs fois centenaire. De nos jours, alors que le cancer devient une expérience universelle, le besoin de mieux connaître notre vieil ennemi et ses traitements est plus fort que jamais. Dans ce récit exceptionnel, traduit dans trente-cinq pays et notamment récompensé par le prix Pulitzer, Siddhartha Mukherjee nous dévoile le chemin parcouru pour résoudre l’un des grands mystères de la science et nous offre un aperçu fascinant de nos progrès futurs.
