Abstract:
THE "DOUBLE TRANSITION" OF YOUNG PEOPLE AFFECTED BY CANCER.: Transition can refer to the transfer of a patient from a paediatric institution to an adult department, but it can also refer to the constitutive process of moving into adulthood. Based on a sociological field survey carried out on devices dedicated to adolescents and young adults affected by cancer in France, the impact of this ambivalence on care practices can be assessed. The current paradoxes the medical and care relationship is exposed to are thus identified.
