We conducted research on patient and family preferences regarding information about cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Between February 1 1998, and November 31 1998, questionnaires were completed by 85 inpatients and their families. Of the patients, 44 had some type of cancer. In a questionnaire pertaining to informed consent that was obtained on admission, 77% of the patients and 67% of their families wanted the patients to know the true diagnosis, even if the possibility of cure was low. Furthermore, 47% of the patients wished to know their true diagnosis even though their families were against it. However, 32% of the patients hoped to leave the decision to their families. Male and younger patients were more likely to make the final decision. In this study, 77% of the patients were diagnosed as having some type of cancer, and only 25% were given information about their prognosis.
