"An elegantlyconceived, powerfully written, and far-reaching book that will change theconversation around cancer for decades to come."-- Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies, "When thehistory of cancer is eventually written, Azra Raza's book will be one of thetouchstones that illuminated the path to victory." -- Amanda Foreman, author of The Duchess, "An elegantlyconceived, powerfully written, and far-reaching book that will change theconversation around cancer for decades to come."-- Siddhartha Mukherjee,author of The Emperor of All Maladies, "Withcommand and clarity, Azra Raza indicts the cancer industry with such force thatit begs the question: Are we really winning the cancer war? The First Cell isan intricately woven, often lyrical, tapestry of anecdote and authority thatreturns the suffering patient to the foreground of medical innovation. Razaexpertly illustrates the complex choreography of cancer's nefarious dance, andher fascinating proposal will surely thrust cancer therapy from the 20th to the21st century."-- Tina Brown, journalist and author of The Diana Chronicles, "Unraveling myth and metaphor surrounding the disease with unrelenting acuity and sharing the pathos of lives have been slashed of years and months and shorn of hope and promise by cancer, Dr. Raza reveals a world that has of yet been inaccessible to those who mourn humanity's lack of progress against the disease while being simultaneously baffled by it. Here is a masterful rendition of how an emphasis on curing cancer, instead of working to detect its first venomous breath, has exacted a terrible price in human lives, including that of her very own husband, Harvey. The First Cell is an intertwining of literature and life, science and cutting edge cancer research, that demands a radical transformation in the way we humans understand the most tragic killer of our time. Through her poignant story-telling and the strength of a scientific vision built on decades of hard-wrought lessons gleaned from her work as a clinician and research scholar, Dr. Raza presents an arresting account that challenges our core understanding of cancer and cure." -- Rafia Zakaria, journalist and author of The Upstairs Wife and Veil, "TheFirst Cell is the rare book that brings both a personal andscientific experience of cancer together. It questions the profiteering thatfloods our environment with carcinogens in the first place, and also those thatprofit from treating it. Azra Raza puts our focus where it should be: onprevention and early detection." -- Gloria Steinem, "As a cancer survivor, I cantestify that Azra Raza's call to action for more research on early detection isvitally important. In a world driven by profit, this book is by a doctor whothinksabout the patient first."-- Ruchira Gupta, journalist and activist, "With wisdomdistilled from more than three decades of clinical practice, the sensibilitiesof a poet, and a deep compassion for her fellow humans, Dr. Azra Raza providesa compelling argument that a key way forward in improving patient outcomes isearly diagnosis and treatment, before cancer has become much too complex forany therapy to overcome."-- David Steensma, Attending Physician at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, "Anaffecting, fascinating, timely, and uncompromisingly honest look at where westand in treating the most fearsome disease in most people's worry list."-- Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and author of Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress, " The First Cell is the rare book that brings both a personal and scientific experience of cancer together. It questions the profiteering that floods our environment with carcinogens in the first place, and also those that profit from treating it. Azra Raza puts our focus where it should be: on prevention and early detection." -- GloriaSteinem, "Raza asks hard questions ... and she hopes to jolt people into looking for a new paradigm in the so-called war on cancer."-- Henry Marsh , The New York Times Book Review, "A beautifully written book from a leading cancer expert who is also a caring, committed clinician."-- Peter D. Kramer, author of Listening to Prozac and Ordinarily Well, "With wisdomdistilled from more than three decades of clinical practice, the sensibilitiesof a poet, and a deep compassion for her fellow humans, Dr. Azra Raza providesa compelling argument that a key way forward in improving patient outcomes isearly diagnosis and treatment, before cancer has become much too complex forany therapy to overcome."-- David Steensma,Attending Physician at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Associate Professorat Harvard Medical School, "Raza, a Columbia University professor of medicine and practicing oncologist, offers a passionate account of how humans grapple with the scourge of cancer.... Showing that compassion is just as important for cancer patients as the drugs administered to them, Raza's deeply personal work brings understanding and empathy to the fore in a way that a purely scientific explication never could." -- Publishers Weekly, "Azra Raza is famed as a titan in the field of oncology. Perhaps less well-known is that she is a sensitive and passionate writer as well. In The First Cell she combines the scientific and the human, medicine and the arts, to give us a unique view into something that touches all of our lives -- offering us reasons for hope, and reasons also for sorrow."-- Mohsin Hamid, authorof The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Exit West, "Anaffecting, fascinating, timely, and uncompromisingly honest look at where westand in treating the most fearsome disease in most people's worry list."-- Steven Pinker,Johnstone Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and author of EnlightenmentNow: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress, "An elegantly conceived, powerfully written, and far-reaching book that will change the conversation around cancer for decades to come."-- Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies Amazon's Best Science Book of 2019 One of Smithsonian 's Top 10 Books of 2019 The New York Times, Books to Watch For in October 2019 Amazon, Top 100 Books of 2019 LitHub , Most Anticipated Books of 2019 BookRiot , Must-Read Books on Cancer Starred Review from Publishers' Weekly Starred Review from Kirkus, "With command and clarity, Azra Raza indicts the cancer industry with such force that it begs the question: Are we really winning the cancer war?

Intelligence, empathy, and optimism inform the argument for new research on cancer that could obviate the suffering prevalent today."-- Kirkus, "A beautifully written book from aleading cancer expert who is also a caring, committed clinician."-- Peter D. Kramer, author of Listening to Prozac and Ordinarily Well, "We are accustomed to a narrative of war in books bycancer researchers. The doctors are generals on the barricades alongside theirsoldier patients. Progress is slow, but the battle is gradually being won. Thisbook tells another story. The drugs that are declared successes offer only afew weeks of painful extension of life. The best clinicians are usually thrownback on the primitive combination of cut, poison, and burn that as students,they thought they would look back on as an embarrassment. Bespoke genetictreatments have significant limitations. Azra Raza breaks out of the officialstory to tell a new one. She's not fighting a war. She's negotiating with aresilient and dynamic enemy. She wantsto change the terms of engagement. No more fighting at the endgame, but huntingdown the first deviant cells. This book is a passion project, a personal story,a scientific proposal, and quite simply one of the most compelling books you'llread. It breaks out of the standard narrative. It invents a whole new one. Itworks. By the end you'll want to sign on to her revolution."-- Sherry Turkle, author of Alone Together and Reclaiming Conversation, "When the history of cancer is eventually written, Azra Raza's book will be one of the touchstones that illuminated the path to victory." -- Amanda Foreman, author of The Duchess, "Raza, a Columbia University professor of medicine and practicing oncologist, offers a passionate account of how humans grapple with the scourge of cancer....

Synopsis
With the fascinating scholarship of The Emperor of All Maladies and the deeply personal experience of When Breath Becomes Air , a world-class oncologist examines the current state of cancer and its devastating impact on the individuals it affects -- including herself. In The First Cell , Azra Raza offers a searing account of how both medicine and our society (mis)treats cancer, how we can do better, and why we must. A lyrical journey from hope to despair and back again, The First Cell explores cancer from every angle: medical, scientific, cultural, and personal. Indeed, Raza describes how she bore the terrible burden of being her own husband's oncologist as he succumbed to leukemia. Like When Breath Becomes Air , The First Cell is no ordinary book of medicine, but a book of wisdom and grace by an author who has devoted her life to making the unbearable easier to bear., In The First Cell , Azra Raza offers a searing account of how both medicine and our society (mis)treats cancer, how we can do better, and why we must.
