Information Needs of Older Women Faced with a Choice of Primary Endocrine Therapy or Surgery for Early-Stage Breast Cancer: A Literature Review

Abstract: W. R. (2014). Information needs of older women faced with a choice of primary endocrine therapy or surgery for early-stage breast cancer : a literature review. Current Breast Cancer Reports, 6 (3), 235-244. Abstract Primary endocrine therapy (PET) as an alternative to surgery is widely used in the UK for the treatment of older women with operable breast cancer. For women over 70 it has equivalent overall survival to surgery, although local control rates may be inferior. There are trade-offs to be made in decid… Show more

“…A schematic representation of DESI development is shown in Figure 1. The prototype DESI (brief decision aid plus booklet) was initially based on literature reviews and analyses of previous patient interviews conducted by members of the group9,10,18,21,24 and was developed using an iterative process. Literature reviews of the clinical evidence and patient informational needs and preferences were conducted.…”

“…Although it has been assumed that older cancer patients have stronger preferences for taking passive roles (doctor-centered or paternalistic decision-making) in the decision-making process than younger patients,1820 recent evidence suggests that many older cancer patients do want to be involved in treatment decisions,20 including women with breast cancer 2124. Preferences for decision-making style vary amongst older women with breast cancer treatment decisions 22,23.…”

“…Questionnaire development was based on findings from a literature review, expert opinion within the research team, the input of a local patient group, and previous qualitative interviews. The questionnaire collected data on the information women “had” found helpful during their treatment DM, on information they “would ideally prefer,” its preferred format and source, and on the women's preferred and actual DM styles. There were a total of 57 questions split into 5 sections. Patient demographics (4 items). Information needs prior to treatment decision (30 items). The process of treatment DM, including the Control Preferences Scale (7 items). Optimal DM, including the Decision Regret Scale (10 items). Preferred format, media and presentation of information (9 items). …”

“…4 One branch of this trial appraised the literature to produce 'decision support aids' to assist women in their treatment decisions; this highlighted that there was limited evidence regarding the information needs of older women with breast cancer. 10 Treatment decision-making requires consideration of the risks and benefits particularly in those with complex co-morbidity who may undergo surgery. The International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG) and the European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists (EUSOMA) recently updated their joint recommendations for management of breast cancer in older women and these advocate decision-making driven by patient preferences 11 .…”
