The patient's right to be informed has been universally recognized and reflected in the legal system of many countries. This right to correct and complete information on behalf of the patient and his admission to proceed with the recommended diagnostic or therapeutic procedure is formalized in the document commonly known as informed consent. Although the legal and bioethical considerations regarding this document have been exhaustively discussed and consensuated, its content continues to create certain doubts and uncertainties. The formal content and the manner in which the consent is obtained are the most difficult aspects. In this article, we analyze what should be included in the written informed consent, with regard to the totality of the information which the patient receives, who should inform, and how the consent should be obtained, as well as how to reflect the different aspects of the variety of radiotherapeutic procedures in the informed consent.
