Cancer Entangled is a remarkable edited collection that chronicles the social life and shaping of cancer in Denmark. Andersen and Torring have crafted a vital contribution to the anthropology of cancer that innovatively weaves intimate experiences of surveillance, diagnosis, and treatment with historico-political analyses of the birth of 'fast-track cancer pathways' within the Danish healthcare system. Cancer Entangled is a must read for all anthropologists, sociologists, STS scholars, and political scientists interested in healthcare. --Ayo Wahlberg professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Copenhagen
