Abstract:

Information disclosure is a key factor in the support for cancer patients. The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Group has developed a questionnaire to evaluate the level of information received by cancer patients at different stages of their disease and treatment: the EORTC QLQ-INFO26.

The paper presents the data on 133 patients from eight countries. The resulting EORTC QLQ-INFO26 questionnaire includes four sub-scales on information regarding their cancer, medical tests, treatment and other services and several single items.
