NCT ID NCT05416983
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study observed conversations between 37 lung cancer patients and their doctors to create a shared decision-making tool. The tool is designed to help patients who have had surgery decide whether to pursue additional treatment. Researchers aim to improve patient satisfaction by making sure patients feel involved in the decision.
