Who makes the decision regarding the treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer-the patient or physician
Cancer,
Song L et al. – The findings of the current study indicate that, to facilitate a more patient–oriented decision–making process regarding treatment in those with clinically localized prostate cancer, clinicians need to tailor their interventions according to patient age and cancer aggressiveness, help reduce patient concerns and misconceptions regarding the physical impact of treatments, allow sufficient time for patients to consider treatment options, and assist patients in balancing advice and information received from different sources.
