Patient Priorities for Survivorship Care in Older Breast Cancer Survivors

Sponsored by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

About this study

The objective of this study is to adapt the Patient Priorities Care (PPC) framework to breast cancer survivorship via a user-centered approach, through an iterative process in which patients and their physicians help to refine and modify the intervention. A second objective is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the adapted PPC framework in breast cancer survivorship for older adults.

In the proposed project, we will use a Patient Priorities Care framework to explore older breast cancer survivors' priorities and health care preferences for high-quality breast cancer survivorship. The framework will include two components: (1) a health priorities identification session with a facilitator, and (2) an encounter with the oncology provider to discuss changes in the patient's care plan to align it with his/her priorities. Our overall hypothesis is that prioritizing patients' priorities is feasible and facilitates individualized survivorship care for older women with breast cancer and multiple chronic conditions. An advisory panel composed of oncologists, geriatricians, and patient advocates will provide regular feedback throughout the refinement and adaptation of the Patient …
