Bringing the experiences of patients, carers and practitioners to the fore, this book explores how individual and collective futures are crafted through their work and care. 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. -- .
