In 2010 Siddhartha Mukherjee wrote a book about the history of
cancer which won the Puliter Prize the following year. He's also
a practising cancer physician in New York. Hundreds of billions
of dollars is poured into cancer treatment and research every
year. We understand it better and have more effective tools to
combat it than ever before, yet it kills millions of people each
year. HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Siddhartha Mukherjee.
His book, The Emperor of Maladies - a self-styled biography of
cancer paints a unique picture of the disease. Eight years on
from its publication, is cancer any less of a curse?
