Patient Understanding of Tumor Genomic Testing: A Quality Improvement Effort

Abstract: PURPOSE: Tumor genomic testing (TGT) has become increasingly adopted as part of standard cancer care for many cancers. Despite national guidelines around patient education before TGT, available evidence suggests that most patients' understanding of genomics remains limited, particularly lower-income and minority patients, and most patients are not informed regarding potential incidental germline findings. METHODS: To investigate and address limitations in patient understanding of TGT results, a Plan-Do-Study-A… Show more

“…23 Further, there is significant variability in how frequently providers educate patients prior to TGT and the content of that education. 19,24-27 Despite consensus across international oncology and medical genetics societies around patient education prior to TGT, 3-9 few strategies have emerged that address key guidelines while also being feasible within the flow of busy oncology clinical settings. To address this critical gap, we demonstrate that our concise, 3-4 minute animated video, now publicly released for widespread use, effectively conveys key information in an efficient timeframe to provide patient education prior to TGT.…”

“…28-30 The differences between more comprehensive pre-TGT education (e.g. the Multimodality COMET eHealth Education Intervention) 31 and concise approaches such as this video 19 reflect a challenging balance between ensuring adequate content but also facilitating delivery within clinic flow. Shared-decision making encompasses the need for patients to discuss their concerns with family members and supporters 28,32 and this video can be directly shared with family and friends with no need for the patient to synthesize information before sharing it with support persons.…”
