Theses and Parenthesis

Behind the Scenes of the Fight Against Cancer

This graphic novel immerges us into the reality of research and the fight against cancer by combining the accounts of young European scholars developing new therapies with the experiences of people living with cancer.

This graphic novel tells the story of a breast cancer patient’s journey from diagnosis to reconstructive surgery. It bridges the gap between the loneliness of doctoral students in the laboratory and the parenthesis inevitably imposed by the diagnosis of cancer and the treatment it entails. Driven by the enthusiasm of the doctoral students for their research, by a great concern for pedagogy and by a drawing that is both clear and dynamic, this graphic novel is the result of a European cancer research project. It takes a behind-the-scenes look at research into targeted therapies, provides information on antibody-drug conjugates, and explains the medical pathway for cancer sufferers. It will be of interest to patients,  their families and friends, as well as volunteers involved in the fight against cancer, and anyone seeking information on cutting-edge medical research.
