Medical Teacher
R E MacCormick, K J Mackinnon

Abstract

Treatment decision making in cancer patients is dependent on tumour variables, patient variables, and physician bias. Patient age and socio-economic status were examined as independent variables in treatment decision making. Bias towards offering treatment options to younger, more socially active patients was found.
