title: [When patients become models].
abstract: In order to boost the self-esteem of patients suffering from cancer and to present the public with a different image of the disease, the Ouest oncology institute of Angers organized a fashion show. Lengthy preparations enabled these models-for-a-day to feel at ease on the catwalk and draw a real benefit from the whole experience. Amid the success and emotion, they were able to forget, for a moment, their disease.
