ABSTRACT
Changed relationships between patient and health care provider have given patients a greater role in their care. Nowadays, they have the opportunity to be involved in decision-making regarding any diagnostic, therapeutic or monitoring intervention related to their disease. Access to international scientific data through the web, the activity of different patient associations, and the information given by their referring physician can enrich their knowledge about their disease and its possible treatments. In addition to the objective criteria usually assessed, the role currently assumed by patient associations in clinical research helps to identify their expectations. In addition, a number of new tools allow the thoracic oncologist to better understand patients' wishes. Health authorities' use of patient-reported outcomes and patients' use of digital applications contribute to improved survival without any deleterious impact on quality of life. Web applications designed to monitor a patient's toxicities during treatment are now commercially available. To meet our patients' expectations, we are called upon to incorporate these different digital tools into our daily practice.
