The Person-centered Evolution of Radiotherapy Services in Ontario Study

Sponsor: University Health Network, Toronto

Summary

This is a single center, prospective, investigator initiated, randomized controlled study of patients with breast cancer who will be receiving radiation therapy as per SOC. Patients will be randomized in either the person-centered model-of-care versus the standard model of care. Patients randomized to the person-centered model-of-care will have a 30 minute education session with a radiation therapist in addition to RT SOC procedures. Patients randomized to the standard model of care will be treated as per SOC. Questionnaires will be administered to both arms at baseline, and at the first and last day of treatment. In addition to the main study, patients will have the option to participate in a semi-structured one on one interview upon completion of their radiotherapy course.
