Description

Cancer is now the leading cause of death in Canada, yet many recent studies have drawn attention to problems in cancer control, such as long waiting times for treatment, inequitable access to care, and variations in treatment. An Element of Hope traces the early development of cancer programs in Canada from the discovery of radium in 1898 to the end of World War II. During this period radium emerged as a promising new therapy and governments sought to mount a societal response to cancer.
