Book excerpt: While Mesopotamia was the cradle of the first great civilisation (mid-fourth century BC), Greece was the cradle of medicine as a science. Down through the centuries its strong philosophical and scientific roots nourished its evolution and contributed to the continuous yielding of abundant fruit. The assimilation of the Greek art of medicine, initially in the Latin world of central Italy and later western Europe, is one of the most extraordinary events in the history of medicine since it represents the foundations of the medical tradition throughout the western world. Without this assimilation Greek medicine would historically be confined to the period in which it originally emerged, and with it Hippocrates and Galen. Instead Greek medical theories continued to be studied, debated and applied in the Latin world, at least until the nineteenth century, and the Hippocratic oath is still the symbol of the medical profession. In this second volume of Medicine and Oncology, with its extensive, invaluable iconography, the successful merger between the history of the Greco-Roman civilisation and the history of science is narrated and analysed by the author with the precision of a historian and the competence of a medical researcher. Comprehension of the indissoluble bonds between antiquity and the modern world is crucial to understand the evolution of medicine, because, as stated by Goethe He who cannot draw on three thousand years of history is living from hand to mouth, and will remain in the dark, inexperienced, living from day to day. Massimo Lopez was Director of the Division of Medical Oncology of the Regina Elena Institute for Cancer Research in Rome and Professor of Oncology at the 1st School of Specialisation in Oncology at Sapienza University, Rome. He has published over 200 articles in the most important scientific journals in Italy and abroad and written several books, including a monograph on breast cancer, one on GIST, and the manual of practical medical oncology that bears his name.

This book was released on 2020-12-14T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 14th century to the end of the 16th century, the social and cultural life of Europe was pervaded by a profound renewal, originating in Italy, which brought the arts and humanities to reach levels unknown for more than a millennium. It was said with enthusiasm that glory would be achieved by removing the rust of the medieval period and emulating the ancients. New inventions, including the printing press, helped to change the basis of culture: books multiplied, and educators were happy to circulate them. Illustrated herbals flourished and, in the rebirth of anatomy, the images of the human body in Vesalius' Fabrica still inspire admiration for their shapes and details to this day. In the 17th century a fundamental contribution to the advancement of medicine was made by Harvey with the discovery of the circulation of blood, not to mention the contribution made to the definition of science and the experimental method by Galileo, Bacon and Descartes. Great innovators also emerged in chemistry, in microscopic anatomy, and in the definition of the physiology of the organism and diseases. This was the era when the scientific revolution in many fields of knowledge put an end to the Ptolemaic conception of the Universe and Aristotelian physics; it brought out a more realistic vision of nature and the human body; it profoundly cracked the foundations of traditional Galenic medicine and created the conditions for its complete dismantling in the 18th century. The description of these events in the fourth volume of Medicine and Oncology presents us with the extraordinary story of the beginning of modern medicine in the usual fluent style and with numerous illustrations that do not decorate but enlighten the text.

He has published over 200 articles in the most important scientific journals in Italy and abroad and written several books, including a monograph on breast cancer, one on GIST, and the manual of practical medical oncology that bears his name.

This book was released on 2020-12-14T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of medicine and oncology from its origins to the present day as envisaged in this eleven-volume project has never before been written. By placing medicine and oncology into the broader framework of general history and humanist studies this project not only presents the facts but also their significance, thus providing valuable information about the major role played by medical sciences in the development of humanity. Although medical literature contains excellent, but albeit outdated histories of medicine, there are no books on the global history of oncology, in particular, ones which provide a comprehensive overview of the integration between these two disciplines. This first volume outlines the history of medicine and oncology from the origins of life to the development of society in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, Imperial China and the pre-Columbian Americas. Scientifically accurate and fluidly written, the book combines medical data with numerous illustrations ranging from the ancient graffiti found in caves to the exquisite objects handmade by Ancient Civilisations; all these images visually represent the first steps taken in the field of medicine. The books in this project are not only authoritative texts available for consultation by scholars of medicine and oncology, they also provide interested readers the opportunity to trace the evolution of modern ideas regarding health and the treatment of illnesses, including cancer. Massimo Lopez was Director of the Division of Medical Oncology of the Regina Elena Institute for Cancer Research in Rome and Professor of Oncology at the 1st School of Specialisation in Oncology at Sapienza University, Rome.

Book excerpt: For many years the Middle Ages were considered to be a period characterized by the collapse of the Greek-Roman civilisation, urban depopulation, castles and sombre cathedrals, abbeys and monasteries where the literate men and women were confined. Teaching and practice of Hippocratic-Galenic scientific medicine, as well as the medical thread that had been woven in previous centuries, threatened of being overwhelmed by the fall of the Western Roman Empire. But Galen succeeded in surviving since, like Aristotle, he had an answer for everything and both were accepted by the Christian world. Early medieval medicine was not as brilliant as that practiced during the period of the divine Galen, but Greek and Latin medical manuscripts were nevertheless preserved, studied and copied. With the advent of Islam they were translated into Arabic and, in the subsequent Latin version, they formed the foundation of the science and philosophy in Europe starting in the 11th century. That period also saw the rebirth of rational medicine, first in the Medical School of Salerno and then in the universities and hospitals. This volume of Medicine and Oncology presents a captivating story written with scientific rigour and accuracy in a simple and flowing prose. The book is an inexhaustible mine of information about the medical thought of over a millennium, as well as a feast for the eyes with its elegant illustrations. Like the previous volumes, it is addressed to doctors, scholars, and all those who are interested in this subject and wish to learn more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The story of oncology is not only fascinating but also contains many accounts of dead ends, chance discoveries, illusions, mistakes and disappointments alongside the few successes.’These words are taken from the introduction to this book. The author, professor emeritus of Medical Oncology, reviews all aspects of the problem of cancer from a historical perspective, from the oldest existing records to the latest scientific and medical advances. It will interest the many people engaged in the treatment of cancer to read how the current therapeutic methods came about, and the book may also provide inspiration for cancer researchers, and for all those directly or indirectly involved with cancer. The layman looking for background information on a particular treatment may find it useful too. The various chapters can be read independently. A glossary and a few explanatory diagrams augment the text.This book grew out of an invitation the author received to lecture on the history of oncology. During his background reading, he discovered that there was no single volume dealing with the entire history of the subject. Fortunately, however, a great deal of information could be found here and there in the literature. As he read, he was struck by the fascinating stories behind many discoveries, and felt impelled to put them together in a single comprehensive account. The results of his labors are presented in this remarkable volume.The author, Prof. D.J.Th. (Theo) Wagener, was head of the department of Medical Oncology at the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre in the Netherlands from 1982 to 2001, chairman of the Educational Committee of the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), a member of the Educational Committee of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and a member of various international scientific working groups, mainly of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC).
