Bruce Ratner is a philanthropist and real estate developer. He is the co-author of Early Detection: Catching Cancer When It’s Curable.
In late 2015, my brother Michael Ratner was brought to the hospital with feelings of nausea. Eventually, he was taken to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for treatment of a metastatic brain tumor. He was 71 years old and was one of the most famous human rights lawyers in the world. Despite his prominence, and Sloan Kettering’s excellence, by May 11 of 2016 he was dead.
