[Attitude of Danish patients and physicians to information on cancer. A questionnaire study].
This survey reports the attitude towards information of cancer patients as regards diagnosis and prognosis among gastroenterologists and patients (not suffering from cancer). The questions were based on a case history (a patient with colonic cancer). Most doctors informed their patients openly, and most patients expected that. Younger doctors in particular were more restrictive than patients as regards information of the spouse.
