Summary

Cancer diagnosis disclosure is a process over time, and involving families in care is crucial. This commentary reviews a Chinese study with global relevance, revealing the complexities of nondisclosure as families and clinicians decide what to share or withhold. Individualized care, cultural humility, contextual awareness, and understanding of patient and family perspectives are vital. Interdisciplinary collaboration helps explore illness perceptions and preferences about cancer diagnosis communication.
