Praise for the hardback edition:
"A lucid, persuasive case for overhauling diagnosis regimes to catch cancer early rather than late." Kirkus Reviews
This powerful book makes a decisive argument that our current strategy against cancer would be vastly enhanced if tumors were detected at earlier stages. I wish that every patient, and policy maker, would read and understand the broad implications of this invaluable, highly readable book. Siddhartha Mukherjee, MD, Cancer Researcher and Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author of The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
Ive spent the last twenty-five years trying to convey exactly what this deeply personal, insightful and well reported book shouts, that detecting cancers early, when they are the most treatable, is the key to saving countless lives. It is what policymakers need to hear. Katie Couric, Award-Winning Journalist, New York Times Best-Selling Author of Going There and Co-Founder of Stand Up To Cancer
An engaging, informative and hugely important work that will save lives. Ken Burns, Grammy and Emmy Award-Winning Filmmaker
Early Detection provides an important look into testing and treatment disparities that exist in cancer care, and thoughtful guidance about how to mitigate these inequities. Expanding access is in everyones best interest as it has the potential to increase the chance of survival while lowering the cost of care. Selwyn M. Vickers, MD, President and CEO, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
This clear and thoughtful book is a critical step in the fight against cancer. The authors understand our medical system and have proposed comprehensive policies that will save thousands of lives and help eliminate the detection and treatment disparities that we need to end. Richard I. Beattie, Esq Former Chairman of the Board, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
Bruce Ratner and Adam Bonislawski identify early diagnosis as a critical requirement for better cancer control and their book elegantly explains the need for both existing and new early detection technologies to make it affordable for all. The personal stories in the book that the authors bravely recount make this mission all the more poignant and urgent. William A. Haseltine, PhD, Chair, Access Health International, Professor, The Feinstein Institute Of Medical Research
