MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
This biography traces the remarkable journey of Philip Salem from his earliest years in a Lebanese village to his current status as one of the world's most celebrated oncologists, renowned for his pioneering contributions to medical science. As a young physician, Salem resisted all forms of educational dogmatism. A passionate researcher, he was one of the first to demonstrate the link between intestinal infection and cancer - a discovery later cited in related Nobel Prizewinning research. He has vigorously promoted the human dimension in medicine, arguing that it plays as vital a role in healing patients as hard science. Having established the first fellowship training programme in cancer in the Middle East, he is now Director of the Cancer Research Programme at St Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston.
