Article Synopsis
- In men with non-metastatic prostate cancer, treatments like radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy, and active surveillance show similar survival rates but have different side effects, highlighting the importance of shared decision making (SDM) in treatment options.
- A survey conducted across 5,063 patients in Norway revealed that 78% wanted to be involved in SDM, with 83% actually having that experience, influenced by factors such as age, education, and relationship status.
- Younger patients with higher education opting for radical prostatectomy were more likely to want and experience SDM, underscoring the need for physicians to tailor the SDM process to individual patient characteristics.
