Cardiff University has been funded by Cancer Research UK and is working in collaboration with the University of Sheffield, the University of Oxford, and NHS Cancer Screening Programmes to develop and evaluate a decision explorer for women diagnosed with breast cancer. Women who have breast cancer often have a choice of operations, the most common include either mastectomy or breast conservation surgery followed by radiotherapy.
Women faced with such choices need clear, accurate information about what the treatments involve
and how they differ. They also need to be able to think about how they feel about these options, so
they can make a choice that is best for them. |
