Book review: Emperor of All Maladies, part 3

This is my copy of The Emperor of All Maladies after I've finished taking all my notes to make the rest of the review posts. It took me over a week of skimming back through to make all these.

 I'm going to break the review up into the following sections:

• discoveries
• theories
• legislation, politics, and other events
• treatment
• author commentary
• quotes

But into the meantime, here are a few comments from me (the first one will makes sense after the treatment post_:

• While radical mastectomies in the Halsteadian sense are no longer performed, the name still lives on for traditional mastectomies
• Author writes that tamoxifen has “barely any significant side effects”—WTF?
