Current biases toward individual rather than corporate responsibility for rising incidence rates, research that promotes treatment rather than prevention, and therapies that can be patented and marketed all reflect a largely hidden history shaped by the Cold War. Even the language we have borrowed from this disease to describe social upheavals - the "cancer of communism," "metastasizing insurgencies" - can be traced back to the middle of the twentieth century when atomic energy first appeared on the international stage."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 $a Cancer $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Cobalt $x History $x Therapeutic use $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Cold War $x Health aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Informed consent (Medical law) $z United States. 650 0 $a Radioactive fallout $z United States. 650 0 $a Radiation carcinogenesis $z United States. 650 12 $a Neoplasms $x history $z United States. 650 22 $a Cobalt Radioisotopes $x history $z United States. 650 22 $a History, 20th Century $z United States. 650 22 $a Human Experimentation $x history $z United States. 650 22 $a Patient Rights $x history $z United States. 650 22 $a Radioactive Fallout $x history $z United States. 650 22 $a Radiotherapy $x history $z United States. 830 0 $a Critical issues in health and medicine. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0811/2008007751.html 856 41 $z ebrary $z ebrary $u http://site.ebrary.com/lib/stanford/Doc?id=10251790 $x ebebr10251790 $x eb4 $x ebebr10251790 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20100503152554.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CBE4FDCC56D911DFB46C8AF9A7D7520A 994 $a 02 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
