The qualitative part of study was designed to investigate the representations of quality by face-to face interviews with family carer of recently deceased cancer patients, and with their oncologists, and nurses. The quantitative part of the study, consisted in a decedents case series analysis, diagnosed with advanced cancer and followed up in 5 centers. Data on trajectory of care were collected from different complementary sources associating national mortality data, hospital activity data, and health records.

The study was approved by the French data protection authority (CNIL) number 611273.
