*Transformations in Cancer Care: Values, Limits, Subjectivities. *
*Editors *
• Dr Ignacia Arteaga. Teaching associate and affiliated lecturer in the
Department of Social Anthropology. University of Cambridge.
• Dr Sahra Gibbon. Reader in the Department of Anthropology. University
College London.
• Dr Anne Lanceley. Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Women’s
Health. University
College London
*Scope and relevance *
We welcome papers exploring the socio-political, therapeutic and ethical
practices that are currently transforming cancer care terrains across the
world. Drawing on ethnographic methods, we would like to ask what kinds of
values, subjectivities and limits are crafted, negotiated and embodied
inside and outside oncology clinics, by whom, and for what purposes. This
special issue aims to bring together a comparative approach to recent
transformations in cancer care by looking at:
• The negotiation of what constitutes ‘therapeutic value’ in research
trials for cancer patients and health professionals
• The social effects of the unequal distribution of biomedical
innovation across patients’ socio-demographic profiles and geographical
regions.
• The ways in which people affected by cancer go through the promises,
labours and fault lines associated with novel anti-cancer treatments within
local contexts.
• The modes of experience and subjectivity that are afforded by
therapies that transform some types of cancer into chronic afflictions.
• The resources that people affected by cancer draw upon to make sense
of the limitations of diverse approaches to cancer and decide to seek or
not to seek remedy via other means.
