Spotlight on Grantee Publication

Richard A., Rettig, Ph.D., Peter D. Jacobson, J.D., M.P.H, Cynthia Farquhar, M.D., and Wade Aubry, M.D., will release their new book, False Hope: Bone Marrow Transplantation for Breast Cancer, in December 2006.  The book “tells of the rise and demise of HDC/ABMT for metastatic and early stage breast cancer, and fully explores the story's implications, which go well beyond the immediate procedure, and beyond breast cancer, to how we in the United States evaluate other medical procedures, especially life-saving ones.” 

 

Current HCFO grantee publications and recent grant findings will be regularly featured in the results section of our Web site.
