Nearly half of all Americans will be diagnosed with an invasive cancer―an all-too ordinary aspect of daily life. Through a powerful combination of cultural analysis and memoir, this stunningly original book explores why cancer remains so confounding, despite the billions of dollars spent in the search for a cure. Amidst furious debates over its causes and treatments, scientists generate reams of data―information that ultimately obscures as much as it clarifies. Award-winning anthropologist S. Lochlann Jain deftly unscrambles the high stakes of the resulting confusion. Expertly reading across a range of material that includes history, oncology, law, economics, and literature, Jain explains how a national culture that simultaneously aims to deny, profit from, and cure cancer entraps us in a state of paradox―one that makes the world of cancer virtually impossible to navigate for doctors, patients, caretakers, and policy makers alike. This chronicle, burning with urgency and substance leavened with brio and wit, offers a lucid guide to understanding and navigating the quicksand of uncertainty at the heart of cancer. Malignant vitally shifts the terms of an epic battle we have been losing for decades: the war on cancer.

What is Malignant Capitalism and how does it differ from normal, healthy capitalism? This is a book about how normal, healthy American capitalism has gotten gravely ill. In this book, two American capitalists take a look at this question from the perspective of two everyday working professionals; one a doctor and the other a journalist. Together they explore the evolution of American capitalism from what was once a model of open competition and innovation-based meritocracy to the destructive, demoralizing system we've got in America today. Whereas healthy capitalism is about the cream rising to the top and the system staying fit and clean, Malignant Capitalism is just the opposite--it's about stagnation, complacency, and, eventually, monopoly and oligarchy instead of healthy competition and opportunity for all. The consumer loses, the people providing goods and services lose, and the few big owners at the very top win. And America loses. With its mindless, soulless consumerism and flagrant disregard for any sort of humanity including loyalty, commitment, and long-term relationships, Malignant Capitalism flourishes. As long as we don't form any real attachments to people, products, or services, we are much more easily controlled and manipulated, including being guided by the "Malignant Hand" towards addictive, impulsive spending and--on the supply side--towards being objectified, beaten down, and abused in our professions, where we are trapped by our ever-increasing, senseless debt.

A fearless exposé of mainstream medicine’s most revered dogma, Malignant Medical Myths is solidly based on trusted medical and nutritional books and journals. Americans spend $2 trillion per year on health care, about $7,000 each, yet it buys almost the poorest healthcare among developed countries, with 200,000 deaths per year from medical treatment. Find out why advice from authorities on screening tests, drugs, diet, exercise, alcohol, radiation, radon, and water fluoridation is often wrong and commercially motivated. See how clinical trials are slanted. Understand how “sickness” is created to sell treatments, and which government agencies support these shenanigans.

An English translation of Boveri's famous monograph which was first published in Germany in 1914. Written almost a hundred years ago, Theodor Boveri's Zur Frage der Entstehung maligner Tumoren has had a momentous impact on cancer research. In it he argues that malignancy arises as a consequence of chromosomal abnormalities and that multiplication is an inherent property of cells. With astonishing prescience, Boveri predicts in this monograph the existence of tumor suppressor mechanisms and is perhaps the first to suggest that hereditary factors (genes) are linearly arranged along chromosomes. This new translation by Sir Henry Harris, Regius Professor of Medicine Emeritus at Oxford University and former Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Cell Science, includes extensive annotations in which he discusses the relevance of Boveri's views today. It is essential reading for all cancer researchers, as well as those interested in the history of cytogenetics and cell biology.

The current volume represents the fourth over a period of five years in our series on Advances in the Cellular and Molecular Biology of Breast Cancer. The first three volumes were entitled Breast Cancer: Cellular and Molecular Biology, Regulatory Mechanisms in Breast Cancer, and Genes, Oncogenes, and Hormones, respectively. Throughout this series, we have tried to take a broad look at cutting-edge topics in basic science research into breast cancer. This attempt has resulted in a wide range of subject material, including rodent and human model systems, oncogenes, suppressor genes, growth factors, hormones, tumor-host interactions, and determinants of metastases. Since our last volume, research in breast cancer has continued to proceed at an explosive rate. We hope the current volume will provide the reader with some of the excitement felt by the editors and authors as we begin to understand this all-too-common disease. The first section of this book is devoted to the basic processes of proli­ feration, differentiation, and malignant progression of breast cancer. T.l. Anderson and W.R. Miller lead off with a detailed description of controls on proliferation in the normal human breast and in breast cancer. This chapter strongly emphasizes pathological aspects. The second chapter, by M.R. Stampfer and P. Yaswen, presents a corresponding viewpoint through a presentation of experiments with human mammary epithelial cells in culture. The second section of the book emphasizes the genetic basis for breast cancer onset and malignant progression. Chapter 3, by M.-C. King and S.

This volume aims to provide the reader with comprehensive, systematic and effective information about pitfalls in the histopathologic diagnosis of malignant melanoma by highlighting a range of pitfalls in histopathologic diagnosis of malignant melanoma and instructing them in a method that enables pitfalls to be avoided. The method utilizes repeatable criteria for the histopathologic diagnosis of melanocytic neoplasms of all kinds, based on features of their architectural pattern, particularly their silhouettes. Proper use of this method is demonstrated in an introduction that establishes firm repeatable criteria for benign and malignant neoplasms of melanocytes.
