abstract = {Cancer is a major cause of mortality worldwide, so efforts have been
mobilized from many disciplines to promote prevention and increased
patients’s quality of life. The theory of social representations makes it possible
to integrate academic and non-academic positions, allowing increase
knowledge about the disease. Although the criticisms that have been made
to the theory proposed by Serge Moscovici and the lack of research
concerning the cancer representations and the treatments associated with
this disease. This paper presents a theoretical review of illness’s social
representations; particularly those relating to cancer, traditional
chemotherapy and oral chemotherapy, to provide a conceptual framework for
understand how is seen cancer and their main treatments, both for the patient
and different health professionals. Concluding that as humanities
professionals it is our duty promotes the study and research of social
representations of cancer and chemotherapy to develop changes in these
representations, fostering a better attention of cancer patients and a better
adaptation to the physical and social changes involving the disease.},
