Evaluation of a Web-based Decision Aid Tool for Larynx Cancer (T3/T4) Patients. (LaDecA)
Larynx Cancer
About this trial
This is an interventional supportive care trial for Larynx Cancer
Eligibility Criteria
Larynx cancer patients
Inclusion Criteria:
- Larynx cancer: T3 anyN M0, T4 anyN M0
- Proficient in Dutch
- minimal 18 years old
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients that do not have a treatment choice (due to contra-indications or other medical reasons)
- patients with recurrent disease
For alpha testing patients that already made there decision are selected. For each treatment option (external beam RT, surgery and chemoradiation) at least 10 patients will be included. For beta testing patients that are facing their decision will be included. Aiming for an effect size of 0.60 for a difference in mean total score on the Decisional Conflict Scale, it would require 45 patients per hospital (pre and post intervention) to determine this effect with alpha 0.05 and power 0.80.
Physicians
- Radiotherapy-oncologists
- Oncologists
- General practitioners
- Nurses For alpha testing at least 10 physicians are selected. For beta testing at least 45 questionnaires are required.
- Patient organizations and insurance companies Besides patients and physicians, patient organizations and insurance companies will be involved to evaluate barriers and facilitators for implementation in clinical practice.
