title: [Eligibility from clinical science for domiciliary cancer treatment].
abstract: To establish domiciliary treatment for cancer patients, following conditions must be settled. They are eligibility from clinical science, intentions of patients and their family, social and economical aspects, compatibility with medical service laws in Japan, and so on. Eligibility from clinical science should be the first matter to be settled among them. From the view of clinical science, medical care practices must be carried on in a correct manner even in patients' homes. In this study we focused on suitability from clinical science and examined possibility of domiciliary treatment for 111 inpatients in our hospital on April 6 th 1994. When the possibility was respectively judged by two nurses in our domiciliary cancer treatment committee, a difference appeared in the numbers of the candidates for domiciliary treatment. Finally the committee decided that 37 inpatients could receive medical care practices in their homes. The analysis of the reason in difference by two nurses made us recognize that the process of the selection of cancer treatment must be properly constructed for the well-qualified domiciliary treatment.
