About this study

In plain language

This study looks at whether a website tool called CONSYDER helps young women newly diagnosed with breast cancer make surgery decisions. The tool shares information and aims to help women talk with their surgeons. Participants will fill out surveys, and some may have an interview or have their surgery visit audio-recorded.

The goal of this study is to understand and improve the breast surgical decision-making process for young women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. As part of this study, the investigators will evaluate the impact and use a web-based tool called CONSYDER that is designed to provide useful information to young breast cancer patients. It is also meant to improve communication between young women and their surgeons with the purpose of helping patients make appropriate surgical decisions. Participants will complete surveys approximately within 1 week of the surgical consult and approximately 6 months after surgery. Patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy will also be surveyed after the completion of neoadjuvant treatment but prior to surgery. Some patients will be invited for an interview after their surgery as part of the evaluation. A subset of patients/surgeons will also have their surgical consultation audio-recorded.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
