This paper reflects about impasses and possibilities of the psychoanalytic clinic in an oncological hospital. The analysis of two clinical vignettes revealed that this kind of work is influenced by both clinical and institutional factors. To conclude, we point out that it is part of the analyst’s task to draw the attention of the medical team to the singularity of the subject as far as possible, so that it may be included in the treatment.
