Abstract
This article investigates interactions between oncologists and women patients of breast cancer in follow up appointments along their treatment or post treatment follow up appointments. In particular, we analyze how patients and physicians interactionally deal with the impossibility of certainty within this context. We also discuss on the implications of such interactional management for the medical practice. The theoretical and methodological perspective is that of Conversation Analysis or Talk in Interaction (SACKS, 1992). The interactions analyzed (24 audiorecorded consultations) were collected at a hospital in Southern Brazil, transcribed by using the conversation analytical conventions (JEFFERSON, 1984), and then analyzed. The analysis reveals the means by which the actions of evaluating and requesting for evaluation undertaken by oncologists and patients operate so as to deal with the impossibility of certainty in these consultations. In the management of uncertainty in the oncological consultations, the analysis also shows which and how positive evaluations produced by the physicians might have interactionally-demonstrated tranquilizing or alleviating consequences to the patients.
