The article analyzes the interface between the Right to Health and the practices of humanization in the care of people with cancer, taking os its analytical axis the Statute of the Person with Cancer (Law No. 14.238/2021). The research, qualitative in nature and exploratory and analytical in approach, is based on the speeches and experiences shared during a dialogue circle held at Santa Teresa College in Manaus, which brought together health professionals, legais experts, and the participation of a patient-activist. According to Gil (2019), exploratory research aims to develop and clarify concepts, offering an overall view of a given phenomenon, while analysis allows data interpretation in the light of theoretical frameworks. Thus, procedures such as bibliographic review, documentary analysis of public policies and legal norms, and systematic field notes were employed. The analysis followed a hermeneutic-critical approach, as proposed by Habermas (1987), who understands Law as language and communicative practice, interpreting the social meanings that sustain it. The field of observation included basic healthcare policies and disease prevention programs in the city of Manaus, focusing on oncology and women’s health, as well as experiences reported by professionals from the fields of Law and public health. The study found that legal discourse, when articulated with medical knowledge and patient experience, reveals tensions between normative texts and institutional reality, highlighting the need for a more humanized and dialogical state action. It concludes that comprehensive care, prevention, and psychological support are inseparable dimensions of the right to life and the realization of human dignity.
