Bladder Cancer Stage II Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Patient-Centered Approach to Integration of Life Expectancy Into Treatment Decision Making for Patients With Genitourinary Malignancy
Investigators will conduct a randomized trial to determine if providing patient-specific life expectancy estimates during treatment counseling via a targeted, patient-centered communication approach improves shared decision making and reduces rates of overtreatment of genitourinary malignancies.
Subjects in the intervention arm will be provided with life expectancy estimates specific to
their age and health status. Life expectancy estimates for prostate and kidney cancer
patients will be estimated by age and Charlson comorbidity score cutoffs, and life expectancy
for bladder cancer patients will be determined using definitions as noted by Cho et al.
Talking points will be provided to counseling physicians on how to meaningfully communicate
life expectancy data. Subjects will also complete a computer-based conjoint analysis exercise
prior to the counseling visit; results will be used to help physicians understand how the
subject values life expectancy compared with other decision attributes. The control arm will
consist of the current standard of care for treatment counseling.
The intervention will be randomized at the level of the patient after stratification by type
of cancer.
All participants will be asked to fill out a validated questionnaire to measure decisional
conflict at the conclusion of their counseling visit. Investigators will audiotape treatment
counseling visits to allow for qualitative analysis of the quality of communication of life
expectancy information. Treatment choice will be documented to assess rates of aggressive
versus non-aggressive treatment among patients with limited life expectancy.
