About this trial

This is an interventional health services research trial for Breast Cancer focused on measuring de-implementation strategies

Eligibility Criteria

70 Years - undefined (Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria

  • Early stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor negative (HER2-)
  • Meet criteria for omission of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB)
  • Receiving care at Michigan Medicine

Exclusion Criteria

  • Non-English speaking
  • Male patients (current data does not support omission of SLNB in men)

Sites / Locations

  • University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Breast cancer decision aid

Arm Description

Participants receive a breast cancer decision aid.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Acceptability of Intervention (AIM) Survey
AIM is a validated, 4-item survey with all items measured on a 5-point Likert scale (Completely Disagree [1] - Completely Agree [5]), scored as a mean. The median score across all participants will be reported.
Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM)
IAM is a validated, 4-item survey with all items measured on a 5-point Likert scale (Completely Disagree [1] - Completely Agree [5]), scored as a mean. The median score across all participants will be reported.
Engagement with the patient decision aid
To determine feasibility, participants will be asked whether they engaged with the patient decision aid (1=thoroughly, 2=somewhat or 3=not at all), scored as a mean. The median score across all participants will be reported.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Satisfaction with decision (SWD)
The SWD survey will be administered by telephone between 60- and 120-days following surgery. SWD is a validated, 6-item survey with all items measured on a 5-point Likert scale (Completely Disagree [1] - Completely Agree [5]), scored as a mean. The median score across all participants will be reported.
Treatment choice
The research team will access participants electronic medical records to determine the number of participants who underwent SLNB, radiation treatment, both or neither after surgery. This will be reported in 4 categories: Only SLNB, Only Radiation, Both or Neither.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to learn whether participants find a patient guide to breast cancer treatment decisions acceptable and appropriate for use.
Detailed Description
This study seeks to adapt and pilot test de-implementation strategies targeting low-value breast cancer treatments which have persisted despite national recommendations. Breast cancer is an ideal setting in which to study de-implementation given it is common, well-studied, typically presents at an early-stage, and care is provided primarily in a community setting.
