In Thinking Through Breast Cancer, Mary Ann Cutter gives readers a systematic, wide-ranging, and well-written analysis of a disease affecting many people around the globe. The analysis is strengthened by Cutter's multiple perspectives on the condition - she is a philosopher of medicine, a bioethicist, and a woman diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. Anyone with a scholarly, clinical, or personal interest in cancer will find valuable insights in this volume. --Rebecca Dresser, author of Malignant (OUP) and Daniel Noyes Kirby, Professor of Law and Professor of Ethics in Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis
