abstract = {In this sense, this issue of Dynamis proposes to add to this new growing
literature of cancer studies by adding depth and detail to the study of one
the most emblematic of cancers, gynaecological cancers, as well as indicating
diversity in similarly configured health systems. This dossier’s case studies
span the twentieth and twentieth-first century and concentrate on a series
of aspects that emerged as a consequence of the policies implemented at
different times to control the disease. Articles explore and assess the historical
and social intersections of medicine, public health interventions, specialists,
and health systems. In analysing the complex organisation of cancer services,
the emergence of new actors and their dispute for professional recognition,
and the complexities of designing and implementing preventive policies
the dossier aims at offering a historical perspective to current debates on
cancer screening strategies in middle and low-resource settings.},
