Patrice Pinell - The Fight Against Cancer: France 1890-1940
Published: 2002-10-18 | ISBN: 0415279232, 0415753805 | PDF | 272 pages | 3 MB


Between the two World Wars an illness that mainly affects adults over fifty years old became so prominent that it superseded both tuberculosis and syphilis in importance.
As Patrice Pinell shows, the effect of cancer in France before World War Two reached far beyond the question of its mortality rates. Pinell's socio-historical approach to the early developments in the fight against cancer describes how scientific, therapeutic, philanthropic, ethical, social, economics and political interest combined to transform medicine.
