BARKHA DUTT: I want to start by asking you about that iconic genius Steve Jobs, obsessive about fitness and health, who goes just like that, in his 50s. Great leveller, that story of Steve Jobs. We just don’t understand cancer, do we?
SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE: Well Steve Jobs’ death was a brutal reminder about the extent to which we’ve failed people like him. Here’s a man who gave us life-altering technologies and did we give him lifealtering technologies? What prevents us today from changing the landscape of cancer? It’s really a failure of imagination. The answer to the question you’re asking — how does someone who’s so obsessed with life, with living, become susceptible — is that cancer, unlike any other disease, is built into our genomes. Let that thought sink in. Because it’s not just biological, it’s really a philosophical thought. If you take the very genes that allow our bodies or embryos to grow and distort them, mutate them, you unleash cancer. You can’t, therefore, un-twin from your body, it’s very much part of the normal cellular growth process going awry. That gives rise to one of the biggest challen - ges in cancer medicine in general: how does one discriminate normal growth from malignant growth? That’s the challenge faced by Jobs’ doctors as well.
