Urban family physicians and the care of cancer patients
Can Fam Physician.
1994 Jan.
Abstract
Members in the Department of Family Medicine of a university teaching hospital were surveyed to find out their involvement in caring for cancer patients. Respondents indicated that many cancer patients were followed, but few cancer support services in the hospital and the community were used. The desire to take on new cancer patients was lacking, yet an interest in continuing medical education existed. Feedback from the department will help guide our Education Committee to develop continuing medical education programs for family physicians caring for cancer patients.
