Description
The goal of this study is to develop standardized questionnaires to obtain information from patients concerning their preferences regarding and evaluation of their own breast cancer care, to pilot test these instruments in women at the outset and the conclusion of their course of treatment, and to link such information to information on their treatment choices and outcomes in order to understand how preferences affect treatment choices and how to better meet the needs of breast cancer patients.
