Is the Web-based decision aid for breast cancer surgery safe for humans?
How does the Decision Aid for Breast Cancer Surgery Choices treatment differ from other treatments for breast cancer?
The Decision Aid for Breast Cancer Surgery Choices is unique because it provides personalized, web-based information to help women make informed decisions about their surgical options, such as breast-conserving therapy or mastectomy, before consulting with a surgeon. This approach supports patient knowledge and decision-making by offering tailored information during the critical period between diagnosis and surgical consultation.128910
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial studies how well a breast cancer surgery decision aid works in increasing patient engagement in decision making for patients with newly diagnosed stage 0-III breast cancer. The trial also examines barriers to patient engagement even with the use of a decision aid, and if barriers are more likely to be experienced by socioeconomically disadvantaged patients.
