Abstract
I would like to thank Cantril, Moore, and Yan (2019) for their informative article on patient preferences for the disclosure of a breast cancer diagnosis in the December issue of the Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing. The findings of Cantril et al.'s (2019) study suggest that patients prefer in-person disclosure. Additional patient priorities included knowing the results of tests quickly, having those results disclosed by an expert with a sensitive touch, and having a clear understanding of the next steps in the treatment plan.
