Offering Choice of Surgical Treatment to Women with Breast Cancer.
Fallowfield, Lesley
Patient Education and Counseling, v30 n3 p209-14 Mar 1997
Few differences in quality of life results are reported between different primary surgical treatments for breast cancer. Assumptions regarding the role of informed choice in psychosocial morbidity have not been substantiated, and fewer women than expected take an active role in decision making. Rigorous research is needed. (Author/EMK)
