Contested Medicine - Cancer Research and the Military

Zusammenfassung In the 1960s, University of Cincinnati radiologist Eugene Saenger infamously conducted human experiments on patients with advanced cancer to examine how total body radiation could treat the disease. Using the Saenger case as a means to reconsider cold war medical trials, this book examines the tensions at the heart of clinical studies of the time.
