Official title: Breast Cancer Pathways Impact on Patient Shared Decision Making and Experience in Academic and Community Practice

This trial studies the impact of the breast cancer pathways program on the patient experience, including decision making and quality of life. Measuring how the breast cancer pathways program affects decision making and quality of life in patients may help doctors improve cancer education.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate the impact of breast cancer pathways on patient experience, burden of decision making and quality of life in tertiary cancer center and community oncology practice.

II. Identify modifiable factors that affect provider adoption of breast cancer pathways in tertiary cancer center and community oncology practice.

OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Participants receive standard chemotherapy educational materials. Participants also complete surveys over approximately 22 minutes at the time of first chemotherapy infusion, and approximately 8 weeks after first chemotherapy infusion.

GROUP II: Participants receive personalized information about their cancer, treatment, and side effects. Participants also complete surveys over approximately 22 minutes at the time of first chemotherapy infusion, and approximately 8 weeks after first chemotherapy infusion.
