BRCA patients and clinical collectives: new configurations of action in cancer genetics practices.

Social studies of science - 1 Feb 2005

Bourret Pascale

Abstract excerpt

Since the late 1980s, in France and in a number of other countries, cancer genetics testing has become a clinical reality, particularly for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. BRCA tests allowing for the assessment of an increased cancer risk among patients and their healthy relatives are now being routinely performed as part of clinical practice. Based on fieldwork on French clinical cancer genetics and on the...
