of the haematologist the patient was transfered to the hospital for the blood transfusion. Despite of the terminal stage of the

oncological disease a lot of diagnostic methods was used there. The author discusses dubious indications of diagnostic and therapeutic

methods in the cases of terminal cancer patients.
