“…At the time of diagnosis, all participants agreed to describe cancer as a negative event associated with death. This finding coincides with the results of other studies in which death is at the central core of cancer representations (Leitão et al, 2013;Rodríguez and Palácios-Espinosa, 2013;Palacios and Zani, 2014;Wakiuchi et al, 2020); this suggests that this way of understanding the disease is determined by the convergence of cultural meanings and personal experiences. This hypothesis is reinforced by two facts: (i) the fear of the disease is present in diagnosed people but is also prevalent in the general population (Perretti-Watel et al, 2012) and (ii) the "cancer = death" equation resists scientific rationality and the official language of medicine, even in the case of the health professionals included in this study.…”

“…El concepto de CaMa está construido principalmente a partir de aspectos negativos, tales como, el temor, tristeza, miedo y muerte. Lo cual es coincidente entre los dos grupos de mujeres y con otros estudios (Castaño & Palacios-Espinosa, 2013;Giraldo-Mora, 2009b;Palacios, Lizarazo, Moreno, & Ospino, 2015;Ribeiro, Férez, & Magalhães, 2017a). Lo cual es un resultado esperado debido a las implicaciones que tiene dicha enfermedad, no solo para las personas que lo padecen, sino también para las personas que están a su alrededor y la sociedad en general.…”
