Quality of Life Intervention to Inform Patient Decision-Making in Early-Stage Lung Cancer

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma, Stage I Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IA1 Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IA2 Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IA3 Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IB Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage II Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIA Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIB Lung Cancer AJCC v8

In brief

This clinical trial studies the effect of a quality of life intervention on decision-making in patients with early-stage lung cancer who are undergoing standard of care surgery or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Providing quality of life outcome data to patients deciding between surgery and SBRT may help decrease decision regret and increase patient satisfaction with their care.
