For cancer patients, life-threatening complications may be difficult to anticipate, which can lead to complex medical decision-making processes. Since 2015, the Gustave Roussy Cancer Center has used a Decision-Aid Form (DAF), which contains an estimated gradation of care in cases where patients' conditions worsen. In this study, we assessed the acceptability of the DAF and the predictive value of the proposed stratification of care with regard to care delivered and patient's outcomes.
