Summary

This study looks at how adults with lung nodules that might be cancer make decisions about their care before a final diagnosis. Researchers will use questionnaires to measure patients' confidence, doubts, and satisfaction with their choices. The goal is to find out what factors help or hinder good decision-making, so doctors can better support patients in the future. No treatments or changes to care are involved.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors identify patients who need extra support when making decisions about lung nodule treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with no treatment given, so it cannot directly improve health outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients.

Who is studied

The study population will include adult patients treated at Sichuan Cancer Hospital who have pulmonary nodules highly suspected of lung cancer before pathological confirmation and who are facing preoperative clinical decision-making. Eligible participants will be identified from thoracic surgery outpatient clinics and inpatient wards. Participants will receive routine clinical care, and study data will be collected using structured questionnaires during the preoperative period.
