This landmark book is a comprehensive, vividly written and deeply scientifically grounded history of the relationship between humanity and cancer, against the backdrop of which personal stories of the war with the "king of all diseases" unfold.

Taking the reader through changing ideas about this disease in different eras, methods of treatment, milestones in understanding its mechanisms and conflicts of interests around it, the author reveals the reasons for the limitations of victories over it and outlines realistic contours of coexistence with it in the future. The eternal dreams of a magic pill for cancer are opposed on the pages of the book by an enemy so insidious because it too closely resembles in its biological perfection distorted reflections of ourselves.
