Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to test the feasibility of identifying and interviewing healthcare triads (patients, loved ones and oncologists) in a research study and evaluate the influences of patients' loved ones and oncologists on cancer treatment decision-making. the study team plans to explore concordance or discordance within the triad about the decisions, and also assess decisional conflict, regret and distress. Study methods involve interviewing a total of 75 patients, their loved ones and oncologists about past cancer treatment decisions. Analysis will consist mainly of qualitative content analysis. The investigators do not anticipate risk or safety issues beyond loss of confidentiality or minimal discomfort while discussing a cancer treatment decision.
