CUTTER, M. A. G., Thinking Through Breast Cancer. A Philosophical Exploration of Diagnosis, Treatment, and Survival. Oxford University Press, 2018. 248p. Hardback. Cutter's book is an excellent example of how philosophy can assist in the personalization of medicine, which has become impersonal and commercial in its delivery of clinical care. What makes her book so persuasive is that she exhibits full personhood both as patient and as agent. As patient, she recounts the impact not only of breast cancer but also of its treatment on her personal life... Cutter's book should be read not just by philosophers of medicine, but also by patients and health care professionals and administrators as well as policymakers. James A.
