• Abstract:

  The study, (whose original proposal is launched during our ongoing academic journey in the Doctoral Program in Bioethics of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto/Portugal), presents some questions about the theme that involves biopolitics, highlighting the oncological universe in the current historical moment in order to rethink the references about professional practice in institutional practice. This is a brief reflection in which at least two sides of the same field of knowledge are present > oncology: the theoretical-practical conception of the decision-making process in daily professional practice, in which the determining action of life and death must to be analyzed in its problematization; and, the strategic intervention understood as politics that involves the practices guided by ethics and values that promote Human Rights results in its interrelation with politics in order to express the contradictions of social reality.
