Informed consent is not a new principle in the patient--physician relationship. It emphasizes the basic principle of the patient's autonomy and the respect which is due to him/her. In oncology it covers clinical examination, complementary investigations, different treatments and follow-up. Obtaining the necessary information may be complicated by difficulties concerning the patient, the cancers and the physicians. The problematical aspects can be alleviated if the patient's autonomy is acknowledged and respected and if the physician succeeds in establishing a sound personal relationship with the patient.
知情同意在医患关系中并非一项新原则。它强调患者自主权这一基本原则以及应给予患者的尊重。在肿瘤学领域，它涵盖临床检查、辅助检查、不同治疗方法及随访。获取必要信息可能因患者、癌症及医生方面的困难而变得复杂。如果患者的自主权得到承认和尊重，且医生成功与患者建立良好的个人关系，那么这些问题方面是可以缓解的。
