Description
Book SynopsisErnest McCulloch discusses how the Ontario Cancer Institute, dedicated to the goal of reducing the burden of cancer, continuously strove for excellence and shows how both original and collaborative work were encouraged within a supportive environment.
Trade ReviewMcCulloch provides an interesting insight into the benefits of a dedicated research centre, and the interactions of the individuals recruited. He covers a period when the whole concept of cancer as a malignant stem cell disorder evolved and concepts of how chemotherapy worked became understood. The immense progress occurred during McCulloch's career and he was able to sit back and look at the history in a remarkably objective fashion. It is well worthwhile to have a comprehensive review of how these discoveries were actually made. Peter R. Galbraith, Division of Hematology, Department of Medicine, Queen's University; "This book is of significant historical interest written by one of the major fathers of Canadian hematology."
