%X Notre analyse porte sur les effets du cancer sur les temporalit¨¦s collectives que sont la vie familiale et le travail. Cette pathologie a toujours engendr¨¦ une crise biographique au moment de son apparition. Cependant sa chronicisation, produit de l¡¯¨¦volution de la canc¨¦rologie ces quarante derni¨¨res ann¨¦es, a modifi¨¦ les effets sociaux qu¡¯elle engendre. ¨¤ part quelques cancers comme celui de l¡¯ sophage, du foie ou du pancr¨¦as, le cancer n¡¯est plus une maladie aigu  induisant une forte mortalit¨¦ ¨¤ court terme. Cependant, des traitements ¨¤ l¡¯issue incertaine peuvent souvent durer des ann¨¦es et se montrer handicapants et stigmatisants. Les temporalit¨¦s collectives, partag¨¦es entre les malades et leur entourage, se disloquent, entra nant des disjonctions temporelles et l¡¯isolement social du malade. La dimension ¨¦cliptique de la maladie, avec ses r¨¦missions et ses rechutes, engendre des r¨¦p¨¦titions de la crise biographique. In this article, we present arguments on the impact of cancer on the collective experience of time within two main social institutions, family and the workplace. This disease always provokes a biographic crisis when it appears. Nevertheless, as medical technology progresses, cancer is becoming a chronic disease, and the social effects of cancer are changing. It is no longer the same disease with a short-term risk of death. Treatments can last for years with uncertain results and induce handicap or social stigma. The collective experiences of time, shared between the sick person and her family and friends, tend to break up, entailing time breaks and leading to the social isolation of the patient. The ecliptic dimension of the disease, with its remissions and relapses, gives rise to repeated biographic crisis.
