John Grisham says THE TUMOR is the most important book he has ever written. In this short book, he provides readers with a fictional account of how a real, new medical technology could revolutionize the future of medicine by curing with sound.
THE TUMOR follows the present day experience of the fictional patient Paul, an otherwise healthy 35-year-old father who is diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Grisham takes readers through a detailed account of Paul�s treatment and his family�s experience that doesn�t end as we would hope. Grisham then explores an alternate future, where Paul is diagnosed with the same brain tumor at the same age, but in the year 2025, when a treatment called focused ultrasound is able to extend his life expectancy.
Focused ultrasound has the potential to treat not just brain tumors, but many other disorders, including Parkinson�s, Alzheimer�s, hypertension, and prostate, breast and pancreatic cancer.
For more information, you can visit The Focused Ultrasound Foundation�s website. Here you will find a video of Grisham on the TEDx stage with the Foundation�s chairman and a Parkinson�s patient who brings the audience to its feet sharing her incredible story of a focused ultrasound �miracle.�
Readers will get a taste of the narrative they expect from Grisham, but this short book will also educate and inspire people to be hopeful about the future of medical innovation.

"John Grisham's readers have always been captured by his
eloquent exposition of injustice. In this short story "The
Tumor," he has stepped outside of the courtroom and legal
system and into the arena of medicine and health care and
in doing so has perhaps found his most passionate voice.
There is no greater injustice than a cruel invader called
cancer who steals from the innocent their most precious
position of life. As in all his writings, Mr. Grisham in
portraying this injustice evokes within us a calling to
demand its remedy. As in the court room, this battle for
justice has begun."
-��� Andrew von Eschenbach, MD, Former Commissioner of the
FDA and Former Director of the National Cancer Institute
"Grisham has gone rogue, turning his formidable writing
skills into an outreach to us all in an effort to shed
light on a new, disruptive medical technology that has the
potential to save lives. Seldom does a writer at the top of
his game step away from his career to speak out on a
revolutionary medical therapy. He says this is the most
important book he has ever written. I believe him. This
book is an amazing read!"
-��� Antonio Mendez, Retired CIA officer, author of ARGO
"What incredible potential to improve outcomes and quality
of life for patients while decreasing the cost of care.
I've seen the power of this technology firsthand with
doctors at the University of Virginia. Just as that
experience brought home the reality of the technology for
me, John Grisham's The Tumor gives readers a better picture
for what the future of medicine can look like with focused
ultrasound."
-��� U.S. Senator Mark Warner
"Grisham's book is changing the game.� He has pulled an
exciting new medical technology out of the labs of academic
research and onto the pages of an enlightening book.� He
paints a great picture of how sound waves may shape the
future of medicine."
-��� Ed Miller, MD, former CEO, Johns Hopkins Medicine
"John emotionally captures the tremendous opportunity for
Focused Ultrasound to provide a new revolutionary
disruptive therapy that will improve, extend and save
lives."
-��� Steve Rusckowski, President & CEO, Quest Diagnostics
Inc.
"John Grisham utilizes his great storytelling talents to
bring to life the science that may change the treatment of
some of the most dreaded cancers.� Grisham's view into one
innovative therapy will give hope to millions about
treatments that don't poison and destroy, arriving long
before the yet-to-be-discovered 'individualized medicine'.
The book combines fact and future in an enlightening and
informative way."
-��� �Howard Stevenson, Professor of Entrepreneurship,
Emeritus, Harvard Business School
"The book is a terrific hybrid of novel and technology
review.� It provides a dramatic sense of the difference
between what is available now and the possibility of the
future.� So many of us know people that could be the
protagonist, that exploring the experience from the patient
point of view is very compelling."
-��� Gordy Slack, neuroscience journalist and author
"Sooner or later many are likely to benefit from this game
changing technology. Now the task at hand is to cause its
development to occur as rapidly as possible. By increasing
awareness, The Tumor can help make focused ultrasound
available sooner to countless patients worldwide with a
host of medical conditions."
-��� �Rick Goings, CEO, Tupperware Brands
"Focused ultrasound therapy is far from fictional:� It's
real and rapidly gaining fame.� But to see John Grisham
move in this book from the legal world into medicine is to
realize that the focused ultrasound story needs to be
shared and there is no better way than through one of our
best storytellers."
-��� Carol Loomis, Retired Fortune Magazine editor and
writer
"A radical and potentially revolutionary view of the future
of brain cancer treatment and cure. Using non-invasive
focused ultrasound in the treatment of brain tumors with
minimal side effects or down time seems like science
fiction. In the book "The Tumor," John Grisham describes
this highly innovative clinical process, which consists of
applying sound waves at a frequency past the hearing
capability of a human ear.� The technology is no longer
science fiction and� may one day rewrite the outcome for
cancers of the brain, breast, liver, prostate, and pancreas
as well as many other serious diseases."
-��� Richard Merkin, MD, President and CEO of Heritage
Provider Network
"John Grisham is amazing.� For 25 years, he has entertained
and educated us with his legal thrillers.� Now, he is
opening our minds to one of the most exciting medical
treatments of our time.� The Tumor is a quick but truly
fascinating read."
