The aim of this thesis was to study the frequency, intensity and content of the communication which occurs between the doctor and the terminally ill cancer patient, with the aim of detecting whether or not this qualitatively and quantitatively meets the patient's expectations. A prospective study was designed in which 94 patients completed a questionnaire and an individual interview.
