This argument compellingly challenges and augments anthropological work on cancer control that has privileged attention to the productive role of science and technology and to life with cancer or cancer risk. By offering rich ethnographic insights into the introduction of the first cancer vaccine, cancer signs and symptoms, public discourses on delays, social class and care seeking, cancer suspicion in the clinic, as well as the work on fast-track referral – the book convincingly situates cancer control in an ethical registrar involving attention to acceleration and time, showing how cancer waiting times become an index of the \"state of the nation\".\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction: Crafting Cancer Anticipations\u003cbr\u003e Rikke Sand Andersen\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: The Waiting Time Paradox: Intensifying Public Discourses on the Vital Character of Cancer Waiting Times\u003cbr\u003e Marie Louise TØ\u003cbr\u003erring \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Accelerated Diagnostics in Slow Motion: Ordinary Dramas of Life and Death\u003cbr\u003e in the Middle Class\u003cbr\u003e Sara Marie Hebsgaard Offersen \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: “\u003cbr\u003eWhat If It Is Just Hiding?”\u003cbr\u003e: Care Seeking in the Context of Symptom Expansion\u003cbr\u003e Rikke Sand Andersen \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Cancer, Inequality, and Expectations of Sameness\u003cbr\u003e Camilla Hoffmann Merrild \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: The Ghost of Cancer in the Clinic\u003cbr\u003e Benedikte MØ\u003cbr\u003eller Kristensen \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6.
