Klin Onkol 1997; 10(1): 27-28.

The author dials with the problem of telling the truth from the philosophical point of view. He believes that the concrete ethical answer cannot be subsumed and even in the future there will be situations in that the truth will not be possible to be told. However, he presents the scenarie of a man who has to accept the fact of his or her death, which occurs in a dialogue with a doctor or with membres of his or her family.
