Should we take into account the informational stress of the medical oncologist?

Bull Cancer. 2024 Feb;111(2):222-227. doi: 10.1016/j.bulcan.2023.11.008. Epub 2024 Jan 9.ABSTRACTInformation overload, informational stress and its deleterious consequences constitute a subject of growing interest in the way of work. This is quite well documented among anesthesiologists. Studies have also been carried out on cancer patients or on the general public in terms of cancer prevention. After having defined the concepts and the consequences, we hypothesize the presence of informational stress among medical oncologists. We illustrate this hypothesis regarding adjuvant treatment of breast cancer. Specific studies (qualitative and quantitative ones) would be particularly interesting in oncology.PMID:38199834 | DOI:10.1016/j.bulcan.2023.11.008
