About this book

When David Servan-Schreiber, a scientist and doctor, was diagnosed with brain cancer, it changed his life. Confronting what medicine knows about the illness, the workings of the body's natural cancer-fighting capacities, and his own will to live, the author found himself on a journey from disease and relapse into scientific exploration, and finally to health. Anticancer is radical in its discussion of the environment, lifestyle, and trauma; and inspiring and cautionary in its certainty that cancer cells lie dormant in all of us-and we all must care for the "terrain" in which they exist. Book jacket.
