A Novel Patient Decision Aid for Surgical Treatment Options in Early-Stage Breast Cancer
A Novel Decision Aid for Early Stage Breast Cancer Patients Choosing Between Lumpectomy and Mastectomy: a Pilot Study
About This Trial
This is a study to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a novel decision aid (DA) in a newly diagnosed, early-stage breast cancer population. Insights gained from patient feedback and the implementation process will be used to improve the information delivered in the decision aid itself and to plan for a larger scale trial to compare the decision aid to standard of care.
