Decaying
|
Nov 07, 2020

I wanted to explore cancer not just biologically, but metaphorically. The idea that tuberculosis in the 19th century possessed the same kind of frightening and decaying quality was very interesting to me, and it seemed that one could explore the idea that every age defined its own illness.

Hidden
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's a phrase in Shakespeare: he refers to it as the 'hidden imposthume', and this idea of a hidden swelling is seminal to cancer. But even in more contemporary writing it's called 'the big C'.

Emerges

Nov 07, 2020

There is a duality in recognising what an incredible disease it is - in terms of its origin, that it emerges out of a normal cell. It's a reminder of what a wonderful thing a normal cell is. In a very cold, scientific sense, I think a cancer cell is a kind of biological marvel.

Gardening
|
Nov 07, 2020

Cell culture is a little like gardening. You sit and you look at cells, and then you see something and say, 'You know, that doesn't look right'.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

I began wondering, can one really write a biography of an illness? But I found myself thinking of cancer as this character that has lived for 4,000 years, and I wanted to know what was its birth, what is its mind, its personality, its psyche?

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

What does it mean to be an oncologist? It means that you get to sit in at a moment of another person's life that is so hyper-acute, and not just because they're medically ill. It's also a moment of hope and expectation and concern.

Go
|
Nov 07, 2020

Most days, I go home and I feel rejuvenated. I feel ebullient.

Nov 07, 2020

There's a rising cancer trend and, as I said, one of the major contributors is the overall ageing of the population - we aren't dying of other things, so we're dying of cancer.

Disease
|
Nov 07, 2020

Probably the most important reason we are seeing more cancers than before is because the population is ageing overall. And cancer is an age-related disease.

Nov 07, 2020

I think when we use 'stress', we are often using a kind of dummy word to try to fit many different things into one big category.

Nov 07, 2020

I think the way we think about cancer, the way we treat cancer, has dramatically changed in the last century. There is an enormous amount of options that a physician can provide today, right down from curing patients, treating patients or providing patients with psychic solace or pain relief.

Brilliant
|
Nov 07, 2020

I believe the biggest breakthroughs on cancer could come from brilliant researchers based in India.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I left Delhi in 1989 and remember very little of how life used to be then. Increasingly, in my recent visits to Delhi, I've started to realize that the city has become intellectually very lively. It makes me want to discover the city over and over again.

Big
|
Nov 07, 2020

Cancer has enormous diversity and behaves differently: it's highly mutable, the evolutionary principles are very complicated and often its capacity to be constantly mystifying comes as a big challenge.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

Good physicians are rarely dispassionate. They agonize and self-doubt over patients.

First Time
|
Nov 07, 2020

I had seen cancer at a more cellular level as a researcher. The first time I entered the cancer ward, my first instinct was to withdraw from what was going on - the complexity, the death. It was a very bleak time.

Research
|
Nov 07, 2020

Postwar U.S. was the world's leader in science and technology. The investment in science research was staggering.
