Abstract:

This study, based on Giddens’ Structuration Theory, aimed to analyze strategies adopted to guarantee rights for people with cancer in five Brazilian municipalities, anchoredon the experience of managers and health professionals in the context of the UnifiedHealth System. A multiple-case study design was conducted. The municipality was the unit of analysis andoncology care-certified facilities were established as analyticalsub-units. Interviews with 10 managers and 15 health professionals were analyzed for strategic actions. Results were systematized according to: care, legal and socialdimensions. Interviewees expressed the need to expand and organize the diagnostic and therapeutic cancer care networks; concern with the large number of lawsuits for access to antineoplastic drugs, both in light of economic sustainability of the health system and because litigation acts promoting inequity; and preoccupation withlow coverageof social benefits, falling short of actual need. In general, the adopted measures are perceived as insufficient to guarantee rights for people with cancer in the Brazilian Unified Health System.
