Utilizing Patient Reported Quality of Life to Inform Patient Decision Making in Early-Stage Lung Cancer
This clinical trial studies the effect of a quality of life intervention on decision-making in patients with early-stage lung cancer who are undergoing standard of care surgery or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Providing quality of life outcome data to patients deciding between surgery and SBRT may help decrease decision regret and increase patient satisfaction with their care.
