Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The essay gives an account of an innovative approach to illness and distant care from the medical tradition of previous centuries, through the case of an illness of strong social impact like cancer in its female variations10. The gaze will be that of the Genevan doctor Théodore Tronchin (1709-1781)11, who starting from the mid-eighteenth century was one of the most popular European doctors and standard bearer of a new way of interpreting treatment and approaching the disease.
