The Cancer Generation

The Cancer Generation is the most honest and thorough accounting of the status of our nation's war on cancer that I have ever read. It captures that extraordinarily complex blend of hope and fear, disappointment and optimism that characterizes a diagnosis of cancer for individuals and the spectrum of cancer for the country. John Geyman's book is easy to read and totally convincing, the cancer storm is here and is about to intensify. But this thoroughly researched book provides far more than a warning about our rising cancer burden. Geyman utilizes his life's experience as a primary care physician and policy expert to identify the decisions and investments that we must make today to navigate our way through the cancer storm to a healthier future."-Richard Wender, M.
