title: [Associative commitment and cancer. Results of a sociological study].
abstract: The associative anti-AIDS movement was the subject of many sociological research interesting in the various positioning of associations the ones compared to the others or in the strategies from the involved actors. The struggle against cancer, which however occurs during the interwar period, did not give place to such developments. Thus, although the report of the absence, in France, of a collective and militant mobilization of cancer patients was already established, the forms of the cancer patients involvement were not questioned. How do the cancer patients to get involved within the associative anticancer movement? We will try to answer this question by the analysis of two distinct dimensions from the involvement: the type of association's organization and the type of patients' commitment the in the associative anticancer movement.
