Sense of Tumour is a Russian medical dramedy that centers around a young man’s cancer diagnosis. The lead and supporting characters are written with depth, flaws, and personal arcs, with little evidence of identity-first storytelling or forced diversity. The narrative focuses on realism, emotional growth, and dark humor, rather than ideological box-checking.

The show maintains a respectful tone toward family, personal relationships, and traditional values. Masculinity, family, and personal trials are presented sincerely, rather than being mocked or portrayed as outdated. If anything, the show leans into the strengths and weaknesses of Russian cultural norms without drastic revisionism or mockery.

There is no obvious modern ideological monoculture. Instead, characters display a range of viewpoints, especially in their personal struggles with life and illness. The show tackles mature topics without turning traditional values into villains or making dissenting opinions into cartoons.
