Socio-aesthetic care in oncology, a parenthesis in the patient's journey. Socio-aesthetics, which is an aspect of support care, is carried out within the hospital. The treatments given into the suggestion of paramedical teams or at the request of patients provide relief and well-being to women and men who are treated for cancer. Recourse to services of socio-esthetics at various stages of the cancer treatment helps avoid isolation, regain confidence in one's self image and prepare for life "after cancer".
