Prospective, randomized control trial investigating the impact of a physician communicated radiotherapy plan review on breast cancer patient-reported satisfaction

ConclusionWe report the first randomized trial evaluating the impact of in-depth RT plan review on PRO during breast radiation. Both baseline and post-intervention scores were high for all domains. Detailed patient assessment, understanding of communication types and information processing may be necessary to determine subtle PRO differences. Further investigations of PRO could potentially direct and optimize physician and patient communication during RT.
