This book explores the shifts that took place in Denmark around the millennium, when health promoters set out to minimize delays in cancer diagnoses in hope of improving cancer survival. Through rich ethnographic cases on the first cancer vaccine, cancer signs and symptoms, social class and care seeking, public discourses on delays, cancer suspicion in the clinic, and fast-track referral the authors situate cancer control in an ethical registrar involving attention to acceleration and time.
