Abstract
Three thousand eight hundred and twelve patients participated in the TemporELLES survey; these patients were treated for breast cancer with intravenous chemotherapy in 105 different outpatient clinics in France. The survey shows that patients spend on average 3Â hours in the outpatient clinic per chemotherapy session, which includes on average 50Â minutes of waiting time. Forty percent of patients would like to reduce this waiting time. Availability of new dosage forms and ready to use medications will address the need for reduced waiting time while freeing up time for providing support to the patients.
