本研究旨在探讨乳腺癌患者医疗话语中风险和患者身份的构建。11个文件由国家癌症研究所的乳腺癌的主题进行了研究，使用叙事分析。一个独特的病人叙述提出了所有妇女作为乳腺癌的风险，并创造了一个理想化的病人身份，为妇女提供了一个规定的功能。叙事构建了一个早期癌症的经验，病人是可治疗的，癌症是治愈或控制。在时间之后，叙述没有重大变化。
This study explores the construction of risk and patient identity in medical discourse directed toward women with breast cancer. Eleven documents produced by the National Cancer Institute on the topic of breast cancer are studied using narrative analysis. A distinct patient narrative presents all women as at risk for breast cancer and creates an idealized patient identity that serves a prescriptive function for women. The narrative constructs an early-cancer experience where the patient is treatable and cancer is cured or controlled. There are no significant changes in the narrative after time.
