Explore the science, stories, and hope behind today’s most powerful cancer treatments.

Part of the Edge of Medicine series from Mayo Clinic Press Kids, Cancer Treatment Breakthroughs takes readers on a journey through the history, science, and future of cancer care. Through real-world examples, this book introduces readers to the scientists, physicians, and patients who are changing the way we understand and treat cancer.
Readers will discover the science behind modern breakthroughs such as

CAR T-cell therapy: How doctors reprogram a patient’s immune cells to fight cancer.
Nanomedicine: Using fat-covered nanoparticles to deliver chemotherapy with fewer side effects.
AI in cancer care: How artificial intelligence helps detect and treat cancer more precisely.
Vaccines: From HPV prevention to experimental cancer-fighting vaccines.
Galleri test: A Mayo Clinic-developed blood test that can detect over 50 types of cancer before symptoms appear.

Cancer Treatment Breakthroughs was created in collaboration with Mayo Clinic experts such as Mira A. Kohorst, M.D., a pediatric oncologist at Mayo Clinic and Evanthia Galanis, M.D., Mayo Clinic’s Executive Dean of Development, who leads research on using viruses and stem cells to target and destroy cancer cells.

Mayo Clinic Press Kids creates empowering health and wellness content in partnership with pediatric experts. Proceeds from the sale of every book go to benefit important medical research and education at Mayo Clinic.
