| Summary: | This paper analyzes bioethical and legal foundations that contributed to establish the current normative discipline of access to oncogenetic resources from the perspective of the Statute of the Person with Cancer. It sought to evaluate the current state of legislation that upholds the rights of patients regarding oncological demands, considering the fundamental rights to life and health. The central premise was to clarify the status of oncology-related resources, which includes precision medicine and oncogenetics, to subsequently address limitations on their access within the Unified Health System or supplementary health. This is a theoretical research based on the survey of national and international references, specialized publications, and current Brazilian legislation. |
