Communication is an essential component of health care. The existential threat of cancer, patients’ support and information needs, evolving disease trajectories and increasing survivorship and the need for decision making about treatment options and trials in the context of rapidly developing therapeutic approaches, all put demands on dialogue between patients and health care workers.1 Unsurprisingly, it has long been known that communication in cancer care is associated with medical and psychosocial outcomes, including distress and satisfaction for both patients and clinicians.2, 3, 4, 5 Consequently, it has become the object of training and research, demonstrating that some aspects can be modified.6 This Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) provides an up-to-date approach to communication with patients and caregivers in cancer care.
