However, still few services exist with regular practices that offer to these professionals opportunities to reflect, share and growth in the difficult task of taking care in health environment, besides that, there is still little investment in the elaboration of projects regarding the health care professionals. The work in oncology makes the doctor be in intense contact with subjective subjects as pain, suffering, life and death. There are studies that show the existence of anguish feelings, tensions, impotence and onipotence by the doctor when working with limitations of their own disease, relationship with the patient and their relatives and with the fact of not solving many subjects regarding cancer, a serious disease that is related to the human finiteness. This work had the objective to know which psychological aspects are present in the doctor who takes care of patients with cancer, and also to identify which personal and institutional strategies are used to support them, starting from that professional s perspective.
