An examination of the initial cancer consultation of medical and radiation oncologists using the Cancode interaction analysis system.

With regard to whether doctors were warm or cold, gender remained significant ( t 126 =−2.0, P <0.05) and prognosis tended towards significance ( t 126 =1.8, P =0.079).

However, a disconcerting finding was that oncologists showed a small trend towards being more patient-centred and warmer towards patients with a normal life expectancy than patients with a prognosis of weeks to months.

Multivariate analyses showed that patient gender ( t 140 =−3.3, P <0.01), patient anxiety ( t 140 =2.5, P <0.05), and patient education level ( t 140 =4.0, P <0.001) influenced the duration that the oncologist spoke for, whereas patient age ( t 140 =−2.0, P =0.052) and whether a family member was present ( t 140 =1.8, P =0.076) approached significance.
