Primary outcome
An overview of the more en less important outcomes after treatment of breast
cancer in the opinion of patients.
Secondary outcome
not applicable
Background summary
Currently the decision for a treatment for breast cancer is made by the doctor
and the patient together. New breast cancer patients receive a lot of
information. The information the doctor is giving is mainly about clinical
outcomes and not so much about the patient reported outcome measurements
(PROMs). Recently there is more interest to inform patients about PROMs, to let
the patients know what the consequences are for their daily functioning.
Study objective
The objective of the study is to assess which outcomes are most important to
patients, so that we can inform them better and contribute to decision making.
If patients, depending on treatment or age, consider PROMSs more or less
important than clinical outcomes, then the results of this project can helplp
to adjust information based on this difference.
Study design
The study is a retrospective, internet-based questionnaire study (a single
questionnair).
The questionnair consists of 3 parts:
I. 20 introductory questions, about age, family situation, their diagnosis,
their treatment, etc.
II. 3 questions about the importance of the different outcomes in the opinion
of the patient.
III. 12 conjoint tasks. In these conjoint tasks the respondents get repeatedly
presented two virtual patients, they have to choose which of these two virtual
patients got the best treatment in their opinion.
Study burden and risks
There are no risks for the participants.
They will fill in a questionnaire on the internet, taking about 30 minutes.
