Used Book in Good Condition
I'm a graduate student in cancer epigenetics, I literally read about this for a living. All cancer is not the same, and doctors aren't trying to kill you while making money. Believing these things displays a fundamental lack of understand of cancer biology and the workings of the American medical system, much less the motivations of the average researcher/physician.
I'd encourage you to watch lectures from prominent researchers to better understand the nature of cancer. I would also specifically recommend this textbook as a jumping off point - it's written by Bob Weinberg and does a good job at explaining the basics of cancer.
Good luck, OP. Let me know how this works out.
If you're interested in some "light" reading, I suggest The Biology of Cancer by Weinberg. You also might be able to find the PDF floating about the web. It's a pretty good general resource.
I believe the canonical text on the current understanding of cancer is Weinberg's The Biology of Cancer which is really fantastic. If you can get a hold of a copy you might try working through that book. Don't get discouraged if it goes over your head repeatedly -- just being exposed to the jargon goes a long way to obtaining understanding.
Good luck!
