摘要：Cancer has been considered a problem of public health with the highest mortality ratings among the male population. This paper aims to identify and analyze the report of psychologists about the specialized attention towards the male public in the field of oncology. According to the Descriptive and Exploratory Research and the Gender Studies’ perspective, a semi-structured questionnaire was elaborated and it was answered by 113 Brazilian psychologists. Through the answers, the lack of specific actions to the male public was observed in comparison to the recognition of the specific women’s necessity. The interviewed ones pointed out the difficulties that men have to join the psychology services with the oncological treatment, exposing implications from the social-cultural and institutional aspects. The results points to the process of genderization of the health institutions and the necessity to include the theme of masculinity in the ambit of SUS.
