Geoffrey Keynes's Two-Fold Vision
During the 1920s and 1930s, the British surgeon Geoffrey Keynes (1887-1982) treated breast cancer with radium instead of the hegemonic radical mastectomy, while vehemently attacking the "radicalists" for mutilating women. Keynes was also a leading bibliographer of literary figures from Sir Thomas Browne to William Blake through Jane Austen. This article argues that these endeavors did not inhabit separate worlds, but rather his bibliographic meth…
Cancer on Trial
At the beginning of Cancer on Trial, the authors remark that rather than providing a global picture of clinical trials, they have “sought more modestly to describe the evolving configurations of institutional, organizational, conceptual, human, and material resources that, through a remarkably dense network, have produced the now-taken-for-granted pillars of modern oncology: cancer clinical trials, treatment protocols, and the like” (9). This boo…
Under the Radar
Under the Radar aims broadly to address the role of Cold War ideology on both the treatment of cancer (primarily with radiation) and the causes of cancer, particularly from environmental releases and medical uses of radiation. In the opening four chapters, the author chronicles the entry of cobalt therapy into the medical arena in the early post-war era which, she argues, emerged from the American Cold War fixation with national defence and the d…
Cancer Therapy and Military Cold-War Research
This paper investigates the intimate relationship that existed between ‘traditional’ and military‐related research in the US during the cold war, by focusing on the history of two seemingly unrelated medical‐research programmes. The first was headed by the physician Donnall Thomas, who was primarily interested in developing a cure for childhood leukemia using total‐body radiation combined with bone‐marrow transplants. The second was led by anothe…
