Older Men's Decision Making About Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer - Aim 3: Decision Aid Cognitive and Usability Testing
Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
This protocol describes development and user testing of an educational shared decision making intervention to help men with prostate cancer who are on active surveillance make decisions with their health care providers about if and when to de-escalate surveillance testing. The project is important because for many patients their cancer does not progress to the point of needed curative treatment or their health status changes such that they are no longer good candidates for treatment. For these men, de-escalating ongoing surveillance (e.g., fewer biopsies or imaging studies) is a reasonable option.
