Challenges of Shared Decision-making by Clinicians and Patients With Low-risk Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

Abstract: ImportanceSeveral international guidelines have endorsed more conservative treatment of low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer (LRDTC), yet patients are facing more treatment options with similar oncologic outcomes and are expressing feelings of confusion, dissatisfaction, and anxiety. Shared decision-making, which considers the patient’s values and preferences along with the most reliable medical evidence, has been proposed to optimize patient satisfaction in the context of the current clinical equipoise.Obje… Show more

Our aim was to demonstrate that despite these well-established guidelines, the evidence suggests that many clinicians are reluctant to discuss all available treatment options with patients, and they also fail to identify the concerns and preferences of patients.…”
