Drawing on an ethnographic study with cancer patients, carers and practitioners in the UK, this book traces their efforts to access and interpret novel genomic tests, information and treatments as they craft personal and collective futures. Exploring multiple experiences of new diagnostic tests, research programmes and trials, advocacy and experimental therapies, the authors chart the different kinds of care and work involved in efforts to personalise cancer medicine, as well as the ways in which benefits and opportunities are unevenly realised and distributed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComparing these experiences with policy and professional accounts of the ‘big’ future of personalised healthcare, the authors show how hope and care are multi-faceted, contingent and, at times, frustrated in the everyday complexities of living and working with cancer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Exploring personalised cancer medicine\u003cbr\u003e1 Personalising cancer treatment and diagnosis through genomic medicine\u003cbr\u003e2 Genomic techniques in standard care: Gene expression profiling in early stage breast cancer\u003cbr\u003e3 Molecular profiling for advanced gynaecological cancer: prolonging foreshortened futures\u003cbr\u003e4 Optimising personalisation: Adaptive trials for intractable cancers\u003cbr\u003e5 Genomics at Scale: Participation to build the bioeconomy\u003cbr\u003e6 Going Private: Digital culture and personalised medicine\u003cbr\u003e7 At the limits of participation\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: Future crafting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041003405655,"sku":"9781526141026","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526141026.jpg?v=1750948566","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/personalised-cancer-medicine-future-crafting-in-the-genomic-era-9781526141026","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
