Need title--book about cancer

[NJCher]

I'm a university writing/speaking teacher and now is the time my students are choosing topics for research papers and speeches. I have several who want to write about cancer.

There's a book about how the American medical establishment has in wrong when it comes to research in cancer. I can't think of the name of the book, though! I have come across it several times in various research but googling "the truth about cancer" does not get me the title, either on the web or at Barnes Noble's search engine.

If anyone knows the name, please post it here.

Also, if you have ideas for topics that would be interesting in this area, please post them.

Thanks!

1. I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for

But this might be it: "The Secret History of the War on Cancer" by Devra Davis, which came out last fall.

I haven't read it yet but want to. It sounds like it might be it. It's great that your students are interested in this topic! :hi:

2. That's it!!

Thank you!

I knew my fellow DU-ers would be able to help. :)

I've already forwarded the URL to students and they have responded, saying they are excited about delving into this topic.
