Brief Summary:
The main aim of the study is to assess if a pre consultation intervention facilitates greater participation of patients and accompanying key persons when present in the consultation process by determining an increase in questioning andor in the number of different illness related issues eg diagnosis treatment prognosis being discussed with the oncologist
Other aims are to assess the effect of the intervention on the oncologists level of patient involvement on patient satisfaction and coping and to explore the role of key persons accompanying the patient
The investigators expect that patients who have the opportunity to rehearse their informative needs before the consultation will ask a greater number of questions which in turn will determine their greater involvement by the physician and a greater number of satisfied needs The investigators expect also that the straightforward use of a list of printed questions of potential relevance for cancer patients and their companions at an early stage of illness by modifying the process of information exchange increases their participation and satisfaction with the consultation with potential benefits for treatment adherence and consequently treatment efficacy
