Resumen

GARCIA RODRIGUEZ, Jaqueline; REVELO ALVAREZ, Pavel  y  GRIMONT GONZALEZ, Surama. Need for a socio-anthropological reading of cancer. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.3, pp.692-710.  Epub 27-Sep-2021. ISSN 1727-8120.

Cancer continues to be a disease that has a negative social representation, despite the information that it has, its manifestations and consequences cannot be explained only from a biological perspective and from the implications of a medical nature, since it involves the person in its complexity and diversity of interactions. Its attention includes very up-to-date scientific-technical aspects, but it also harbors social, cultural, symbolic meanings, consequently anthropological, that distinguish and stigmatize it. The objective of the work was to argue the need for a socio-anthropological reading of cancer, as a way to guarantee its comprehensive approach. The authors consider that the study of cancer should include the anthropological vision that underlies three aspects: a holistic approach to health, a gender approach, and practical and narrative conceptualizations of experiences.

Palabras clave : cancer; social representation; socio-anthropological reading.
