{"product_id":"the-politics-of-personalised-medicine-adam-hedgecoe-9780521602655","title":"The Politics of Personalised Medicine: Pharmacogenetics in the Clinic","description":"This book applies a social science perspective to an examination of issues that arise in clinical practice as a result of drug development linked to genetic testing. These include the social context within which new drugs undergo trials and the related attitudes and expectations of clinicians and patients. Two case studies illustrate the arguments--one on aspects of Alzheimer's disease, and the other on the drug Herceptin which is used in the treatment of breast cancer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Hedgecoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521602653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521602655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.32w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2006 pg. 96","brand":"Adam Hedgecoe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946729079039,"sku":"9780521602655","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_97a67830-d9d6-42e7-b5aa-b592f1239cd7.jpg?v=1681514802","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-personalised-medicine-adam-hedgecoe-9780521602655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
