- 2002.

Medical teams working in hematology-oncology units may face two major difficulties. One is linked to the emergency hospitalization of a patient and the other to its readmission after a period of remission. How to cope with these difficulties when they are part of the daily routine of these units? They occur in a family context, in the relationships between members of the medical team and the patient. The answer may perhaps be found within a truly interdisciplinary care project continuum, elaborated by the various health professionals in an ethical dimension.
