Abstract

The knowledge of the facts that preceded the creation of the National Cancer Institute (INCA) is important to understand the historical perspective in which it occurred, in the 20's. In this period appeared the first public policies aiming cancer treatment and control, as well as the actions fighting the disease. This paper reconstructs this history showing the relevance of the INCA in this scenario.
