Funded Activity Summary

Precision and the person: a sociological study of innovation in cancer care. This project aims to investigate the social implications of the turn toward ‘precision’ medicine as articulated in cancer care where it has its strongest foothold. The project intends to examine the evolving social impacts of ‘precision’ across the life course for cancer patients, their carers and health professionals drawing on social and political theory. Expected outcomes include a unique evidence-base that will inform practice and policy frameworks, and offer an urgently needed community perspective on the evolution and value of precision in medicine. This project will generate a range of social, economic and health policy benefits and impacts.
