PRECISION ONCOLOGY AND CANCER BIOMARKERS KARTON...

This open access book reflects on matters of social and ethical concern raised in the daily
practices of those working in and around precision oncology. Each chapter addresses the
experiences  concerns and issues at stake for people who work in settings where precision
oncology is practiced  enacted  imagined or discussed. It subsequently discusses and analyses
bioethical dilemmas  scientific challenges and economic trade-offs  the need for new policies 
further technological innovation  social work  as well as phenomenological research.This volume
takes a broad actor-centred perspective as  whenever cancer is present  the range of actors
with issues at stake appears almost unlimited. This perspective and approach opens up the
possibility for further in-depth and diverse questions  posed by the actors themselves  such
as: How are cancer researchers navigating biological uncertainties? How do clinicians and
policy-makers address ethical dilemmas around prioritisation of care? What are the patients'
experiences with  and hopes for  precision oncology? How do policy-makers and entrepreneurs
envisage precision oncology? These questions are of great interest to a broad audience 
including cancer researchers  oncologists  policy-makers  medical ethicists and philosophers 
social scientists  patients and health economists.
