About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether a tool to help with care decisions is practical to use. It is for adults age 65 or older with breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and their care partners.

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility for a patient centered decision-making support tool for older adults with metastatic breast cancer and their care partners.

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