This book contains an original approach to the lived experience that cancer patients undergo. Domenico Arturo Nesci exhibits a truly personal disposition towards his patients; one that is, in a broad sense, humanistic yet well-grounded in the psychological dimension of the patient-doctor relationship. Both dimensions are badly needed in our time and age, considering the highly technological nature of the medical and surgical environments in today's hospital settings. Practitioners and lay persons may benefit from this newer and potentially useful view of what "cancer" - the disease, but also the anthropological fact - represents existentially for those who suffer from it and those who are called to treat them. -- Dominique Scarfone, MD, Universite de Montreal; Canadian Psychoanalytic Society and Institute
