内容説明
This book traces the history of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, one of Britain's major medical charities and a leading international scientific research centre. Cancer is seen predominantly as a clinical problem, and the history of research is portrayed in the light of the history of its clinical management and the policies of physicians and surgeons. This book examines the Fund's changing relationship with the medical profession, other medical charities and the government. Through this comparative framework, the author draws a general picture of the management of malignant disease and of therapeutic and preventative strategies, allowing an assessment of the evolution of cancer services in Britain. There is a consideration of the progress of research, drawing attention to the lessons that might be learnt from the way discoveries were made, and asking questions about accountability, decision making and the contribution of past achievement to policy-making in the Imperial Cancer Research Fund.
