title: [Survey of chemotherapy practice in public and private hospitals in Brittany].
abstract: With the objective of planning for cancer research, an assessment of chemotherapy practices in public and private establishments was carried out in 1997 by the Regional Direction of Health and Social Affairs of Brittany. This retrospective survey was carried out during the first trimester of 1997. A questionnaire collected quantitative and qualitative data: skills of mobilised personnel, modes of preparation and dispensation of cytostatic drugs and partner relations. In the 38 establishments reporting that they provide chemotherapy, the data showed varied practices for: the number of patients treated (0 to 579), number of visits per patient (2.07 to 9.4), and skills of the practitioner. The indicators used in this study, with the objective of analysis and aid in planning, will serve in the evaluation phase of the implementation of the regional health programme in cancer research.
