La presente investigación tiene como objetivo conocer las representaciones del cáncer en un grupo de adultos jóvenes que han sido diagnosticados con esta enfermedad, recogiendo los aportes de dos tipos de instrumentos: la entrevista y la red de asociaciones.Para este propósito se evaluó a 30 jóvenes con edades entre 18 y 25 años (M= 20.93,DE=2.43) que estaban siendo atendidos en el Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas (INEN). Se apreciandiversas asociaciones relacionadas al cáncer, tanto positivas como negativas, lo cual parece estar relacionado a experiencias previas con la enfermedad y a factores vinculados a la etapa del desarrollo de los participantes.

For this purpose, we evaluated30 youths between 18 and 25 years (M = 20.93, SD = 2.43) who were being treated atInstitutoNacional de EnfermedadesNeoplásicas (INEN). Various associations related to cancer are appreciated, both positive and negative, which seems to be related to previous experiences with the disease and linked to the stage of development of participants. In addition, we find that the associative network is an interesting tool when evaluating representations by the content evoked and themode of approachingthis disease.
