RESUMO
In the last decade or so, the history of cancer has emerged as a distinctive topic of study that has rejuvenated the field of the «history of diseases»
thanks to the work of a heterogeneous group of medical and social historians, sociologists, anthropologists and health professionals primarily based in
Europe and Anglo-Saxon countries. Such a multi-disciplinary approach has returned a kaleidoscope of perspectives where cancer and its history
seem to harbour some meaningful insights into the many unanswered questions that the disease poses at the present. In so doing, these surveys
are contributing to expand the analysis of the history of diseases by drawing attention to chronic and non-communicable diseases whose relevance
have been somewhat neglected in comparison to the attention given to contagious and infectious diseases.
