Book excerpt: This volume summarizes the Proceedings of the fourth biennial Cancer Teaching Symposium held on March 7 and 8, 1970, at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. The program was prepared by Drs. LAWRENCE ALLEN, MELVIN GRIEM, WERNER KIRSTEN, LEON JACOBSON, JOHN ULTMANN, ROBERT WISSLER, and STANLEY Y ACHNIN. The purpose of the Symposium was to present current advances in the area of lymphoma and leukemia to the staff and students of this medical center and to students and interested physicians from other institutions in the Chicago area. Like the other teaching symposia held in 1964, 1966, and 1968, this Symposium attracted over 450 physicians and scientists. In the course of one and a half days the audience had the opportunity to listen to the twenty-four invited speakers and to lively discussions. The formal presentations as well as discussions are recorded in these pages. This Teaching Symposium could not have been undertaken without the faithful assistance of the Program Committee, the Cancer Training Grant Advisory Com mittee, the staff who recorded and transcribed the Proceedings, and the editorial assistants. We wish to thank the following for their efforts: DOROTHY A. WILLIS, Administrative Secretary for Institutional Cancer Training Grant, Dr. ROBERT L. HUNTER, Dr. ROBERT H. KIRSCHNER, Dr. ROBERT A. ORLANDO, Dr. STEPHEN STRUM, RANDOLPH HUGHES, JULIA KANT, GEORGIA MOHR, TERRY PEARSON, FRIEDA RANNEY, and CAROL REESE.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading cancer specialist tells the powerful stories of 3 adult leukemia patients—shining new light on the hidden history of the disease and the drugs developed to treat it. “A look at leukemia patients’ fear, survival and grace while fighting the disease . . . a quiet chronicle of life with and beyond leukemia, and sometimes life’s end.” —The Washington Post When you are told that you have leukemia, your world stops. Your brain can’t function. You are asked to make decisions about treatment almost immediately, when you are not in your right mind. And yet you pull yourself together and start asking questions. Beside you is your doctor, whose job it is to solve the awful puzzle of bone marrow gone wrong. The two of you are in it together. In When Blood Breaks Down, Mikkael Sekeres, a leading cancer specialist, takes readers on the journey that patient and doctor travel together. Sekeres, who writes regularly for the “Well” section of The New York Times, tells the compelling stories of three people who receive diagnoses of adult leukemia within hours of each other: Joan, a 48-year-old surgical nurse, a caregiver who becomes a patient; David, a 68-year-old former factory worker who bows to his family’s wishes and pursues the most aggressive treatment; and Sarah, a 36-year-old pregnant woman who must decide whether to undergo chemotherapy and put her fetus at risk. We join the intimate conversations between Sekeres and his patients, and we watch as he teaches trainees. Along the way, Sekeres also explores leukemia in its different forms and the development of drugs to treat it—describing, among many other fascinating details, the invention of the bone marrow transplant (first performed experimentally on beagles) and a treatment that targets the genetics of leukemia. The lessons to be learned from leukemia, Sekeres shows, are not merely medical; they teach us about courage and grace and defying the odds.
