The jargon and survival data used by oncologists to communicate with patients may not be fully understood by a patient, resulting in a hasty decision without a proper understanding of its implications. This letter to the editor calls for more patient‐friendly language to improve communication.
肿瘤学家用于与患者沟通的行话和生存数据可能未被患者充分理解,导致在没有充分了解其含义的情况下仓促做出决定。这封给编辑的信呼吁使用更适合患者的语言来改善沟通。
