Episode 19: Ralph Moss

For over forty years, Ralph Moss, PhD has been evaluating cancer treatments and educating the public as well as practitioners about cancer therapy choices.

Ralph W. Moss, PhD, has written or edited fourteen books and collaborated on four film documentaries on cancer. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Moss is an honors graduate of New York University and Stanford University. In the 1970s, he was assistant director of public affairs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, which gave Ralph the beginning and intimate understanding of the cancer industry. His most recent book, Cancer, Incorporated, is available through bookstores and online and is a disturbing behind-the-scenes exposé of how cancer therapy decisions are made by oncologists and policymakers. Anyone who is facing decisions about cancer care or has family or friends making choices in cancer treatment must read this book!

For over forty years Ralph has been evaluating cancer treatments. He writes the Moss Reports, which are up-to-date book-length reports on the most common cancers, for laypeople. He has also written the chapter on complementary and alternative medicine for the Encyclopedia Britannica and for a legal series, Courtroom Medicine: Cancer. He co-edited the first medical textbook on Complementary Oncology.

Ralph has made 18 separate tours of cancer clinics in Germany, as well as in Austria, Mexico, Turkey, Holland, Israel, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Russia, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, Bahamas, Honduras, Great Britain, and most states of the U.S. and provinces of Canada. He and his team continue to tour clinics around the U.S. and the world looking for advanced cancer treatments. Ralph uses this information in his written reports to help advise patients about their cancer treatment choices.
