Points de vue populaires, politiques et professionnels sur les prises en charge alternatives du cancer au Canada (1914-1950) - Popular, political and professional perspectives on alternative cancer care in Canada, 1914-50 / Barbara Clow. Dans "Histoire du cancer (1750-1950)", colloque international organisé par le laboratoire FRAMESPA (université Toulouse II-Le Mirail), l'Institut Claudius Regaud et le Centre d'Études d'Histoire de la Médecine. Toulouse : Université Toulouse II-Le Mirail, Institut Claudius Regaud, 20-22 janvier 2011. Thématique 3 : Institutionnalisation de la lutte contre le cancer (1914-1950), 22 janvier 2011. In many parts of the world, the medical profession spear-headed the fight against cancer during the twentieth century: undertaking research, leading campaigns to build hospitals, advisinggovernments on public policy, and supporting organizations dedicated to public education. In the process, the medical profession consolidated its leadership of the cancer establishment.While doctors have undoubtedly been integral to the institutionalization of cancer care, their authority has not been uncontested. In early-twentieth-century Canada, the perspectives of patients, politicians and alternative practitioners also influenced the institutionalization of cancer care, constraining the power of the medical profession to dictate policy, practice standards,and therapeutic choices.> [La communication en anglais de M.
