This paper concludes the course entitled “The Trajectory of Health Policy, Construction of the Unified Health System (SUS) and the Rights of People with Cancer in Brazil”. The objectives of the study were: to know the socio-historical trajectory of health as a right, a process that culminated in the configuration of SUS within the Brazilian Social Security, as well as its difficulties in materialization; systematize the rights of people with cancer within the SUS and some aspects of this particularity in Tocantins. In addition, we address aspects related to the social and emotional dimension of the disease, given the fact that it is a serious disease, almost always the “meaning of death”. The methodology used consisted of conducting a bibliographic survey about the theme. Thus, we proceed to the analysis of theoretical productions about health policy, from critical authors, highlighting the Marxist tradition.
