SURVEY - Information perception, wishes and satisfaction in ambulatory cancer patients under active treatment. CONCLUSION: Patients attending a day hospital in a busy comprehensive cancer centre in Europe are generally well-informed but would appreciate additional information on nutrition, long-term outcome, and recurrence symptoms, along with more details about medical tests and treatment side effects. The information perceived by patients in clinical trials is deficient, however, and interventional studies using a standardised format of delivering information are needed. INFO25 is a useful instrument for baseline assessment and intervention measures, although it would need to be updated to accommodate the role of new information sources available to patients, especially the Internet and other technology-based health tools that are now widespread. tiny.cc/0cp8ex
