Patient Preference Survey for Radiation Oncologists

NCT00595218 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 500

Last updated 2017-07-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Limited data exists for the cancer patients' preferences on their patient-doctor interaction with their radiation oncologist. These physicians have the opportunity to develop intimate relationships with their patients since these patients typically require daily radiation treatments anywhere from one to seven weeks. Thus, by having a greater understanding of the individual patient preferences, the radiation oncologists will be able to better serve their patients leading to improved patient satisfaction with their physician and healthier outlook on life. This is the premise and the hypothesis of this study.
