Breast Cancer: Poisons, Profits and Prevention The war on cancer, according to investigative reporter and community activist Liane Clorfene-Casten, seems to be a losing battle — badly waged and severely mismanaged. Tracking how companies create the very toxins that cause cancer and then profit from the "cures" they peddle, Clorfene-Casten takes to task the government, the American Cancer Society, and various corporate giants to craft a chilling report on the big business that breast cancer has become.

Cancer du sein : Entre raison et sentiments Mal emblématique, le cancer du sein accompagne l'histoire des femmes. Il déborde infiniment le champ des connaissances et des actions de la médecine. Il renvoie aux questions fondamentales que se pose tout être humain. Mon avenir est-il une page blanche? Qu'est-ce que la vérité? La raison peut-elle rendre compte de tout? Est-ce que les autres m'aiment? Que peuvent les forces de l'esprit? Pourquoi ne suis-je pas immortel? Pour répondre, l'auteur puise dans l'art, la psychologie, l'histoire ou la philosophie et illustre sa réflexion au travers de magnifiques illustrations en couleur. Il offre un plaidoyer pour une médecine du sein plus sereine, une analyse des ambiguïtés de la société face à une maladie devenue insupportable, soulève des interrogations sur des actions sanitaires collectives qui s'inscrivent dans le consumérisme, les enjeux médicaux, économiques et politiques. Comment penser le cancer du sein, ce mal emblématique qui accompagne l'histoire des femmes, des hommes et des sociétés? Souvent « médicalement incorrect », l'ouvrage est une quête de vérité face à une maladie dépourvue de sens. Cet itinéraire de réflexion s'inspire du quotidien d'un humaniste, médecin de terrain, et philosophe, passionnément ouvert à l'art et à la vie. Dominique Gros, sénologue à Strasbourg, est connu pour ses contributions originales sur le thème de l'art et du cancer. |

By 1993, that risk had become 1-in-8.
