EXTREME LIFE SITUATION
FOR PATIENT AND PHYSICIAN

Cancer must be a challenging life situation. Not only for a patient, but for medical professionals, too. Decisions about the treatment are the decisions about life and death. Who should define what is in the patient’s best interests? Who is liable in case of using risky therapeutic procedures? How to work with non-cooperative patients? What legal consequences can there be in pediatric cancer care? Should a physician start a therapy without patient’s consent?
What are the opinions of law, bioethics or psychology experts on the complex cancer patient care and the role of medical professionals and health care workers in cancer patient care? What legal, psychological, ethical and existential consequences might negligence in oncology lead to? These are only a few examples of the questions the conference will deal with. Please, accept our invitation to this exceptional event. Join us in the event, present your knowledge and experience and make it part of unique mosaic of answers to questions of medical practice.
