Résumé :

Medical advances lead to complex decision-making in oncology. The doubt associated with these decisions can lead to negative reactions among patients and physicians. An international study recently showed physicians’ difficulties to apply communication skills that could reduce these negative reactions. Physicians working in oncology may benefit from specific communication skill training programs focusing on high-uncertainty contexts to improve the quality of their therapeutic decisions.
