Lung Cancer Clinical Trial
Quality of Life Intervention to Inform Patient Decision-Making in Early-Stage Lung Cancer
Summary
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.
Full Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Determine the effect of provision of quality-of-life (QOL) information versus usual care for standard of care surgery or SBRT treatment on decision regret.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the effect of provision of QOL information versus usual care for standard of care surgery or SBRT treatment on QOL measures.
II. Determine the influence of socioeconomic status on the relationship between decision regret and QOL information associated with each treatment modality.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP A: Patients receive study QOL intervention fact sheet during the initial consult that occurs 4 weeks prior to the standard of care surgery or SBRT. Patients have an opportunity to review the QOL fact sheet in person and discuss any questions with the treating physician(s).
GROUP B: Patients receive usual care during the initial consult that occurs 4 weeks prior to the standard of care surgery or SBRT.
Patients are followed up at 1, 3, and 6 months after standard of care surgery or SBRT.
