520 At the end of the Second World War, a diagnosis of cancer
was a death sentence. Sixty years later, it is considered
a chronic disease rather than one that is invariably
fatal. Although survival rates have improved, the very
word continues to evoke a special terror and guilt,
inspiring scientists and politicians to wage war against
it. In Under the Radar, Ellen Leopold shows how nearly
every aspect of our understanding and discussion of cancer
bears the imprint of its Cold War entanglement. The
current biases toward individual rather than corporate
responsibility for rising incidence rates, research that
promotes treatment rather than prevention, and therapies
that can be patented and marketed all reflect a largely
hidden history shaped by the Cold War. Even the language
we use to describe the disease, such as the guiding
metaphor for treatment, "fight fire with fire," can be
traced back to the middle of the twentieth century.
Writing in a lucid style, Leopold documents the military,
governmental, industrial, and medical views of radiation
and atomic energy to examine the postwar response to
cancer through the prism of the Cold War. She explores the
role of radiation in cancer therapies today, using case
studies and mammogram screening, in particular, to
highlight the surprising parallels. Taking into account a
wide array of disciplines, this book challenges our
understanding of cancer and how we approach its treatment.
