David Sadava
The landscape of cancer treatment and prevention is a vastly different place than it was even a decade ago. Thanks to a relatively new focus on molecular medicine, researchers are gaining a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved in the disease, poising them on the brink of huge breakthroughs.
What Science Knows About Cancer reports from the front lines of the war on cancer with a clear and scientifically precise - yet thoroughly accessible - guide to how the disease develops, thrives, and can potentially be conquered. An abundance of edifying charts and slides provide a rich visual reference for the information presented, while in-depth accounts of patient histories, clinical trials, and epidemiologic studies enrich your experience and aid comprehension. Taught by David Sadava, a laboratory researcher at the City of Hope Medical Center and an award-winning professor of biology at The Claremont Colleges, this fascinating 24-lecture course leaves no stone unturned in explaining the amazing ways cancer works to subvert the body, and how new therapies can reverse these insidious processes. Cancer isn't necessarily something any of us likes to think about, but knowledge truly is power.

Compared to many other Great Courses I've listened to, the professor makes a lot of references to graphics and charts on the screen in the video format of the course. In most cases he verbally describes them and their key takeaways. The audiobook description even touts these visuals, but ironically, as with most Great Courses on Audible, the accompanying PDF is almost entirely text. The PDF doesn't even mention let alone show an example of something like a Kaplan-Meier Survival Curve that the professor refers to frequently. I'm a Great Courses regular and was able to tolerate this, but I'm sure this would frustrate or confuse a lot of listeners.
