This book takes stock of the needs, expectations and challenges of caring for a cancer patient at home or in hospital. Indeed, if the number of cancer cases is increasing in Western countries, their management is evolving. The emphasis today is on a more humane announcement of the disease, less aggressive treatments and a better quality of life. Better informed patients often wish to be treated at home. As the survival time lengthens, hospital stays are reduced and chosen. Home care teams will soon be relying on the hospital more easily, thanks to specific communication methods and care networks. Here, all the stakeholders involved in the psycho-oncological approach to the patient discuss the choice of place and means of treatment for patients: from the general practitioner to the psychologist, from the oncologist to the mobile palliative care unit.
