Dr. Lewisohn was a surgeon who experimented with an anti-cancer drug teropterin pteroltriglutamic acid. In 1947 Dr. Lewisohn offered Ruth who had been diagnosed with throat cancer in 1946 to receive this experimental therapy. Dr. Lewisohn was very honest with Ruth about his small chances for a recovery although no formal informed consent was signed. Ruth responded bravely that he would still like to go through with the experimental treatment in order to provide the medical community with information that might help individuals in the future with the same ailment. Thus Ruth became a subject in one of the first clinical trials of an anti-cancer drug. Dr. Lewison's experimental course of teropterin injections led to a dramatic albeit short-lived improvement in Ruth. The improvement in Ruth's condition was featured in the lead story of September 11 1947 in the Wall Street Journal which reported on Dr. Lewisohn's report of the case at a medical conference. The Wall Street Journal stated that researchers might be on the verge of a cure for cancer. As a direct result of Dr. Lewisohn's treatment Ruth was able to say farewell to his fans at Yankee Stadium and attend other public functions as well do the interviews for and see the publication of this book in May of 1948. He was also attend the premiere of the film based on upon this book. Ruth passed away just a short time later on August 16 1948 before the film's public release.
