The aim of this review is to discuss the different communication skills training designed to physician interactions with cancer patients. The development of medicine and chronic cancer treatments indicates the need to improve communication skills that combine appropriate assessment, information and support. Literature shows however that numerous factors may jeopardize the mastery of those skills. As a consequence, initiatives have been made to improve oncologists' communication skills. The objectives of those training programs are to improve patients' as well as the medical staffs' quality of life. A critical review of objectives and used techniques (theorical information, case discussion, role playing, feed-back) is presented here. This review includes also the discussion about training module integrating several techniques. This review shows the efficacy of experiential techniques as well as participative techniques. The results of available studies are finally emphasizing two difficulties: the maintenance and the consolidation of the various skills acquired over time and their successful transfer to the clinical practice.
