Engaging breast cancer patients with outcome surveys
A Randomized Study of Breast Cancer Patient Engagement With Patient Reported Outcome Measure Survey Results
This study is testing how breast cancer patients feel about their treatment and care by having them fill out surveys before and after surgery to see how their experiences change over time.

What this trial studies
This research protocol aims to measure Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in breast cancer patients using the BREAST-Q survey. Patients will complete pre-operative and post-operative modules based on their surgical choices, with surveys administered at various time points to track changes over time. The study will evaluate the relationship between patient engagement with PROM results and various clinical and patient satisfaction variables, including communication with healthcare providers. Additionally, open-ended questions will allow patients to express concerns or outcomes that may not be captured by standard measures.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adult females with a new diagnosis of breast cancer who can independently complete surveys.
Not a fit: Patients under 18 years of age, males, or those unable to complete surveys independently may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance patient engagement and satisfaction in breast cancer care by providing valuable feedback on their outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies utilizing PROMs in cancer care have shown positive outcomes in patient engagement and satisfaction, suggesting this approach is promising.
