With the fascinating scholarship of The Emperor of All Maladies and the deeply personal experience of When Breath Becomes Air, a world-class oncologist examines the current state of cancer and its devastating impact on the individuals it affects -- including herself.In The First Cell, Azra Raza offers a searing account of how both medicine and our society (mis)treats cancer, how we can do better, and why we must. A lyrical journey from hope to despair and back again, The First Cell explores cancer from every angle: medical, scientific, cultural, and personal. Indeed, Raza describes how she bore the terrible burden of being her own husbands oncologist as he succumbed to leukemia. Like When Breath Becomes Air, The First Cell is no ordinary book of medicine, but a book of wisdom and grace by an author who has devoted her life to making the unbearable easier to bear. Review An elegantly conceived, powerfully written, and far-reaching book that will change the conversation around cancer for decades to come.--Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All MaladiesAmazons Best Science Book of 2019One of Smithsonians Top 10 Books of 2019The New York Times, Books to Watch For in October 2019Amazon, Top 100 Books of 2019LitHub, Most Anticipated Books of 2019BookRiot, Must-Read Books on CancerStarred Review from Publishers WeeklyStarred Review from KirkusOne of the New York Times Eighteen New Books to Watch For in October Joumana KhatibRaza asks hard questions ... and she hopes to jolt people into looking for a new paradigm in the so-called war on cancer. Henry Marsh, The New York Times Book ReviewAn incisive critique-cum-memoir NatureRaza, a Columbia University professor of medicine and practicing oncologist, offers a passionate account of how humans grapple with the scourge of cancer.... Showing that compassion is just as important for cancer patients as the drugs administered to them, Razas deeply personal work brings understanding and empathy to the fore in a way that a purely scientific explication never could. Publishers WeeklyWith elegant literary references and a compassion that deeply personalizes her interactions with patients and families, [Raza] engages readers in a commitment to finding a better way. Intelligence, empathy, and optimism inform the argument for new research on cancer that could obviate the suffering prevalent today. KirkusWe are accustomed to a narrative of war in books by cancer researchers. The doctors are generals on the barricades alongside their soldier patients. Progress is slow, but the battle is gradually being won. This book tells another story. The drugs that are declared successes offer only a few weeks of painful extension of life. The best clinicians are usually thrown back on the primitive combination of cut, poison, and burn that as students, they thought they would look back on as an embarrassment. Bespoke genetic treatments have significant limitations. Azra Raza breaks out of the official story to tell a new one. Shes not fighting a war. Shes negotiating with a resilient and dynamic enemy. She wants to change the terms of engagement. No more fighting at the endgame, but hunting down the first deviant cells. This book is a passion project, a personal story, a scientific proposal, and quite simply one of the most compelling books youll read. It breaks out of the standard narrative. It invents a whole new one. It works. By the end youll want to sign on to her revolution. Sherry Turkle, author of Alone Together and Reclaiming ConversationWhen the history of cancer is eventually written, Azra Razas book will be one of the touchstones that illuminated the path to victory. Amanda Foreman, author of The DuchessAn elegantly conceived, powerfully written, and far-reaching book that will change the conversation around cancer for decades to come. Siddhartha Mukherjee,author of The Emperor of All MaladiesWith command and clarity, Azra Raza
