Summary

This trial tests a digital application designed to help surgeons explain breast cancer surgery to patients. The goal is to see if using the app during the first consultation makes patients feel their doctor is more empathetic and empowers them in decision-making. The study involves women scheduled for a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
e-consult application (digital tool)
What this could lead to
If effective, this app could become a simple way to help patients feel more understood and involved in their surgical care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on patient perception, not medical outcomes. The app may not change actual empathy or satisfaction.
