Based on the four pillars of ethics (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice), the role of physicians involved in the prescription of anticancer drugs from an ethical perspective will be addressed, the inviolability of protocols and the indications for the use of drugs will be discussed, as well as the struggle of patients and the society in general to receive the best treatment.
