Another thought-provoking article in this month's OncLive by Maurie Markman, MD... as there are SO MANY advancements in healthcare and science overall, are we doing a good enough job tackling the tough patient care questions on realistic/unrealistic hope? "While there will likely be little (if any) disagreement with the general concept of the importance of hope following the diagnosis of cancer, concerns have been raised about certain beliefs associated with this process that may result in unrealistic, even potentially harmful, expectations based on objective, statistically defined anticipated outcomes observed in others in similar clinical situations." #oncology #clinicaltrials #survivorship #cancer #patientcare
