A principios del año 2023, la leyenda del tenis Martina Navratilova, de 66 años, anunció que había sido diagnosticada de dos tipos de cáncer, uno de mama y otro de garganta, originado por el virus del papiloma humano. Solo en Estados Unidos, cada año son diagnosticados alrededor de 3500 casos de cánceres orofaríngeos asociados con el virus del papiloma humano en mujeres y 16 200 en hombres. Según la OMS, alrededor del 5 % de los cánceres son provocados por infecciones del virus del papiloma humano. Algunos microorganismos tienen un profundo impacto en la patogénesis del cáncer. De hecho, casi el 20 % de los cánceres malignos en humanos están relacionados con infecciones microbianas, incluidas bacterias, parásitos y virus. Estudiar y conocer con detalle a los agentes patógenos que están implicados en el desarrollo de algunos cánceres permitirá obtener una comprensión profunda de la enfermedad, y buscar las herramientas adecuadas y necesarias para aniquilar al enemigo. El panorama es peliagudo, y este libro destripa, página tras página, el vínculo que mantienen los microbios y el cáncer, porque resulta evidente que presentan un nexo incestuoso abrumador, y que los ejemplos son múltiples y contundentes. Seguimos en guerra, y el cáncer es un adversario con mala uva y dientes afilados, pero hoy estamos más cerca que ayer de conseguir la victoria definitiva. Del autor y sus obras se ha dicho: «Un libro muy interesante, muy ameno, muy riguroso, que combina información científica con aportaciones cinematográficas, literarias. . . ». Julia Otero, Julia en la onda, Onda Cero. «Raúl Rivas relata con maestría literaria historias en las que los microorganismos son los protagonistas. Uno se queda con ganas de más. Si te gustan las buenas historias, seguro que disfrutarás con este libro». Francisco R. Villatoro, La ciencia de la mula Francis, Naukas. «Con el tamaño perfecto para que su lectura sea dinámica y amena; he sido incapaz de empezar un capítulo sin leerlo de una sentada. Entretenido, riguroso y bien escrito. Las cualidades que tienen los grandes libros de divulgación científica». Daniel Martín Reina, Hablando de Ciencia. «Una historia de la microbiología diferente, plagada de anécdotas, curiosidades, enigmas y aventuras científicas, en la que aprendemos de microorganismos, química, historia, arte y otras muchas cuestiones. Un libro muy completo». Eva Caballero, La mecánica del caracol, Radio Euskadi. «Algunos de los episodios más relevantes y curiosos de la historia en los que los microbios son los auténticos protagonistas. » Manuel Seara, A hombros de gigantes, rne. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.
