Different social norms influence the type and amount of information transmitted to palliative care patients. In Italy disclosure rate is low and medical decisions are often mediated by the family since communication of diagnosis and prognosis is viewed as harmful and brutal. Aims of our study were to assess palliative care patients' knowledge about their diagnosis and prognosis and expectations; and to evaluate possible differences between palliative care patients with and without cancer.
