ABSTRACT
The main objective of this text is to understand the meanings attributed to penile cancer by transvestites sex workers. This is a qualitative and descriptive study carried out in Recife, Pernambuco, in 2019. The literature on Anthropology of Health in the field of Social Sciences in Health constituted a theoretical framework. Eight black interlocutors participated, where a field notebook, a sociodemographic characterization form and a semi-structured interview script were used in the production of data. For the analysis, thematic coding was used, resulting in two categories "embodiment of the 'new' disease" and "it's like the end of life and career!". Finally, the data located the meanings of penile cancer from the social and historical context and from the transvestites' own experiences, where the embodiment of the 'new' disease gained prominence as metaphors were constructed to designate it, as well as the social and career death that it would represent in their lives.
RESUMO
Objetivou-se compreender os significados atribuídos ao câncer de pênis pelas travestis profissionais do sexo. Este é um estudo qualitativo e descritivo realizado em Recife, Pernambuco, no ano de 2019. A literatura da Antropologia da Saúde do campo das Ciências Sociais em Saúde se constituiu como referencial teórico. Participaram oito interlocutoras negras, onde foi utilizado um caderno de campo, formulário de caracterização sociodemográfico e roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturado na produção dos dados. Para a análise, empregou-se a codificação temática resultando em duas categorias "corporificação da 'nova' doença" e "é como se fosse o fim de vida e de carreira!". Por fim, os dados localizaram os significados do câncer de pênis a partir do contexto social, histórico e das próprias experiências das travestis, onde a corporificação da 'nova' doença ganhou relevo à medida que se construíram metáforas para designá-la, bem como à morte social e de carreira que esta representaria em suas vidas.
