"An informative, optimistic tour of the science of cancer . . . a solid account of how cancer works, how it has been combated and what the future holds for its treatment." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Dr. Hesketh brings an expert’s easy familiarity and depth to this comprehensive, at times almost affectionate, look at a deadly adversary. He tells us what cancer is, what causes it, what we can do to prevent it and how we are systematically battling the disease on many fronts. "-- William Hanson, MD, author of The Edge of Medicine

"In Betrayed by Nature, Robin Hesketh melds medicine, science and history to create a clear and highly readable explanation of the complexities of cancer."--John P. Moore, Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, Weill Cornell Medical College
