False Hope: Bone Marrow Transplantation for Breast Cancer
Rettig, Richard A. (Adjunct Senior Social Scientist, Adjunct Senior Social Scientist, RAND Corporation, Arlington, Virginia, USA)
In the late 1980s, a promising new treatment for breast cancer emerged: high-dose chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation or HDC/ABMT. This book tells of the rise and demise of HDC/ABMT for metastatic and early stage breast cancer, and explores the story's implications, and how we evaluate other medical procedures.
