T1 colorectal cancer patients' perspective on information provision and therapeutic decision-making after local resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Decision-making after local resection of T1 colorectal cancer (T1CRC) is often complex and calls for optimal information provision as well as active patient involvement.

Objective

The aim was to evaluate the perceptions of patients with T1CRC on information provision and therapeutic decision-making.

Methods

This multicenter cross-sectional study included patients who underwent endoscopic or local surgical resection as initial treatment. Information provision was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-INFO25 questionnaire. In patients with high-risk T1CRC, we evaluated decisional involvement and satisfaction regarding the choice as to whether to undergo additional treatment after local resection, and the level of decisional conflict using the Decisional Conflict Scale
