Precision and the person: a sociological study of innovation in cancer care

这个项目的目的是调查转向“精准”医学的社会影响，正如癌症治疗中所表达的那样，这是它最强大的立足点。该项目旨在利用社会和政治理论，研究癌症患者、他们的护理人员和卫生专业人员在整个生命过程中不断变化的“精准”社会影响。预期结果包括建立一个独特的证据基础，为实践和政策框架提供信息，并就医学精确性的发展和价值提供迫切需要的社区观点。该项目将产生一系列社会、经济和卫生政策效益和影响。

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.
