Living Well After Breast Surgery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer Female, Stage I Breast Cancer, Stage II Breast Cancer, Stage III Breast Cancer, Ductal Carcinoma in Situ, Ductal Breast Carcinoma, Lobular Breast Carcinoma

In brief

Decision making about whether to have breast reconstruction after mastectomy can be difficult, and previous studies have found that many women are not well informed about their options. Patient decision aids can improve decision quality for a variety of health conditions. This pilot randomized study seeks to determine how a patient decision aid about breast reconstruction affects the quality of decisions about reconstruction including patient knowledge, concordance between preferences and treatment, and decisional regret.
