Ethical Challenges in Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy
This book presents in detail the problems and ethical challenges in daily oncological practice. In western industrialized countries, roughly 25 percent of all citizens still die from cancer. Despite significant progress in basic science and in individual areas of clinical care, even in the 21st century, being diagnosed with cancer has lost none of its dread and can still be a death sentence. This situation raises many problems and challenges for medical ethics, e.g., the question of the benefits and risks of prevention programs, or the right to know and not to know. Clinical trials with cancer patients and quality assurance for surgery, radiotherapy and medication also pose a series of ethical dilemmas. Furthermore, cancer treatment is a psychological challenge not only for patients but also for physicians and caregivers. The issues of adequate pain management and good palliative care, of treatment limiting and the question of assisted suicide at the end of life also have to be considered. In order to reflect the subject’s diverse and multifaceted nature, the book incorporates legal, ethnographic, historical and literary perspectives into ethical considerations.
Unfinished Business: Terminated Cancer Trials and the Relevance of Treatment Intent, Sponsors and Intervention Types
Abstract: The aim of the study was to report on the association of trial sponsors with intervention type, treatment intent, recruitment success and reasons to terminate cancer trials. The ClinicalTrials database was searched for interventional Phase 3 cancer trials (01/2006-05/2017). Noncancer studies and ongoing studies were excluded, permanently suspended studies were counted as terminated. Trials were stratified according to sponsors (industry/nonindustry), intervention type, setting (curative/palliative) and intent of intervention (curative/symptom-control/life-extending). We identified 345 terminated trials and 1137 completed studies as a control group. The frequency of premature termination did not differ significantly between sponsors. Time to termination was shorter but recruitment per month prior to termination was higher in industry-sponsored studies (7.0 vs 2.2 patients/month; P
Evidence Contestation
This book examines the practices of contesting evidence in democratically constituted knowledge societies. It provides a multifaceted view of the processes and conditions of evidence criticism and how they determine the dynamics of de- and re-stabilization of evidence. Evidence is an essential resource for establishing claims of validity, resolving conflicts, and legitimizing decisions. In recent times, however, evidence is being contested with increasing frequency. Such contestations vary in form and severity – from questioning the interpretation of data or the methodological soundness of studies to accusations of evidence fabrication. The contributors to this volume explore which actors,...
Medicine, Natural Philosophy and Religion in Post-Reformation Scandinavia
The close relationship between religion, medicine and natural philosophy in the post-Reformation period has been documented and explored in a body of research since the 1990s; however, the direct and continued impact of Melanchthonian natural philosophy within the individual Lutheran principalities of northern Europe in general and Scandinavia in particular still has to be fully investigated and understood. This volume provides insight into how and why medicine and natural philosophy in a 'liberal' and Melanchthonian form could continue to blossom in Scandinavia despite a growing Lutheran uniformity promoted by the State. Inspired by research emanating from the Cambridge Unit for the History of Medicine, here a number of young scholars such as Adam Mosley, Morten Fink-Jensen, Signe Nipper Nielsen and Martin Kjellgren are joined with more established scholars such as Andrew Cunningham, Jens Glebe-Møller, Terhi Kiiskinen and Ole Peter Grell to create a volume which deals with not only the major issues but also the leading personalities of the period.
Der Mensch in der Neuzeit
Die Historische Anthropologie beschäftigt sich mit den menschlichen Erfahrungshorizonten in ihren historischen Ausprägungen. Dabei begreift sie den Menschen als deutendes und handelndes Wesen und nimmt ihn als einen entscheidenden Faktor für historische Dynamik und den Gang der Geschichte wahr. Diese Forschungsperspektive durchzieht den Band als Leitfaden und strukturiert das Erkenntnisinteresse der Beiträge. Anhand der Themenfelder von Alltag, Körper und Emotionen geben die Autor:innen exemplarisch Einblicke in den Mensch(en) in der Neuzeit, der hier vordergründig im Sinne der Kulturgeschichte in seiner Besonderheit, Komplexität und Abhängigkeit von Natur, Gesellschaft und kulturell...
Anatomie
An Selbstbewusstsein hat es den Anatomen des 18. Jahrhunderts nicht gemangelt. Sie sahen sich als Perfektionisten, als Vollender ihrer Kunst. In der Tat erm�glichten technische Innovationen Einblicke in den menschlichen K�rper, die zu neuen Ansichten und Konzepten fuehrten. Gleichzeitig ueberwand die Anatomie die Grenzen einer rein medizinischen Wissenschaft. In der Rechtsprechung gewann sie an Bedeutung, und bildende Kunst und Literatur wurden vom anatomischen Diskurs beeinflusst und gepr�gt. Dennoch - trotz ihrer unbestreitbaren Erfolge war die Anatomie in der Bev�lkerung gefuerchtet und verrufen. Das Ende eines Menschen auf dem Sektionstisch galt als unehrenhaft. Der Band stellt in fuenf Sektionen die Vielschichtigkeit der Anatomie des 18. Jahrhunderts dar. �The volume uncovers some new ground previously � neglected (�). In summary, this is a competent conference volume�� German Studies Review .
