Patient communication in oncology — the frameworks that actually help
A plain-language orientation to breaking bad news, running family meetings, discussing prognosis, and handling the conversations that shape your practice. Grounded in the 2024 ESMO guideline and the 2026 ASCO update.
Operational content, not clinical guidance.
Workflow patterns and career-craft observations from practicing oncologists. Not a substitute for clinical judgment, institutional protocols, or the advice of your department chair, program director, or attending mentors. Adapt to your setting.
