RESUMO:

Melanoma, as an oncological disease with new pharmacological approaches, was considered, in this work, as a way of thinking about the multiple realities of Annemarie Mol. This theoretical-methodological approach focuses on everyday practices in which heterogeneous elements are related to the production of multiple versions of the disease. In this case, this dissertation aimed to explore the multiple realities through the experiences and reports produced about melanoma and its pharmacological treatment in different contexts. In order to achieve this, the following specific objectives were adopted: a) to trace the multiple relationships between the disease and oncological drugs in specific environments (scientific articles, biomedical guidelines, hospital and oncology units); b) demonstrate how, on a daily basis, the disease and its treatment produce bodies and different ways of life; c) indicate the actions taken in daily life and the various elements mobilized for the treatment to occur. As a technique for the data production, semi-structured interviews were carried out with people undergoing pharmacological treatment for malignant melanoma. However, informal conversations, observation of the visited places and notes in the field diary gained relevance for the construction of realities, here, presented. In total, there were ten transcribed interviews, four of them conducted with people using pharmacotherapy in private oncology institutions and services and two undergoing treatment in a philanthropic institution in the public health system. Two health professionals, a nurse and a dermatologist from this institution were also interviewed. No diagnosis came in isolation and implied the mobilization of different elements, as well as the active participation of those involved so that the benefits of the indicated biomedical treatments were achieved. The interventions, through chemotherapies and immunotherapies, shaped not only different melanomas, but, inevitably, different ways of living, dealing with and building bodies with the disease. Health systems, therapeutic guidelines, public agencies, biomedical explanations, people who care, expectations and anxieties emerged in a network of associations that made melanoma and the therapies performed to assume a multiple character in the experienced practices.
