Abstract: In a study of physician-patient communication in the oncology department of the University Hospital Center (CHU) Hassan II of Fez, Morocco, we invited some cancer patients – after signing a written consent - to participate in the survey by answering a set of questions we have asked them (using face-to-face questionnaires), with the aim to explore some patient related data, such as: the literacy level, the cancer site, their knowledge level about cancer, how they received the diagnosis, the fact of asking questions about their case to feed their curiosity, their degree of satisfaction with communication with their oncologists, and to what extent they try to acquire more knowledge about their disease; then, we finished up the survey by gathering the patients' suggestions to improve the physician-patient communication process and thus to enhance the quality of care in the oncology department of the university hospital center under study.
