Résumé

Oral chemotherapies are increasingly prescribed. Yet wide variations in prescription practices and in monitoring of toxicity have been underlined despite existing guidelines. There is little recent information available as regard to these practices. We aimed to obtain exhaustive information on oral chemotherapy prescription practices and safety monitoring in French hospitals.
