Excellent- More about Personalised Cancer Medicine: Future Crafting in the Genomic Era
This book explores the efforts of cancer patients,carers,and practitioners in the UK to access and interpret novel genomic tests,information,and treatments as they craft personal and collective futures. It charts the different kinds of care and work involved in these efforts, as well as the ways in which benefits and opportunities are unevenly realized and distributed. It compares these experiences with policy and professional accounts of the 'big future of personalized healthcare' and shows how hope and care are multi-faceted, contingent, and at times frustrated in the everyday complexities of living and working with cancer.
