title: [Carcinoma of the breast: information on tumoral disease in hospitalized patients].
abstract: Information on their disease, received from 100 patients hospitalized for breast cancer, is assessed. Through analysis of the replies to a questionnaire on information obtained before and after treatment, it emerges that 60% of the patients had received information about the disease and that 45% knew that the diagnosis was cancer. The study confirms the importance for physicians to use uniform language, consistent with the personality of each patient.
