Synopsis "El Emperador de Todos los Males (in Spanish)"

En 2010, siete millones de personas murieron de cancer en todo el mundo. Con esta fria estadistica Siddhartha Mukherjee, medico e investigador oncologico, arranca su amplia y absorbente "biografia" de una de las enfermedades mas extendidas de nuestro tiempo. El emperador de todos los males es una cronica completa del cancer desde sus origenes hasta los modernos tratamientos (quimioterapia de diversos tipos, radioterapia y cirugia, ademas de la prevencion) que han surgido gracias a un siglo de investigacion, ensayos y pequeños avances trascendentales en muchos lugares distintos. Este libro es un repaso a la ciencia del cancer y a la historia de los tratamientos que le han hecho frente, pero tambien es una reflexion sobre la enfermedad, la etica medica y las complejas y entrelazadas vidas de los oncologos y sus pacientes. La empatia que muestra Mukherjee hacia los enfermos de cancer y sus familias, asi como hacia los medicos que muy a menudo tan pocas esperanzas les pueden ofrecer, hacen de este libro una historia llena de humanidad de una enfermedad compleja e inasible.Reseñas:"Esta obra deberia valer a Mukherjee un merecido lugar en el panteon de los grandes divulgadores de nuestra era, junto a Carl Sagan, Stephen Jay Gould y S
