Population-based study of the effect of gene expression profiling on adjuvant chemotherapy use in breast cancer patients under the age of 65 years.
The authors evaluated the relation between gene expression profiling (GEP) testing and the use of adjuvant chemotherapy by women treated in a general oncology practice. They found that adjuvant chemotherapy use after GEP testing is generally consistent with the recommended test interpretation for women with a high or low predicted risk of recurrence. Chemotherapy use in the intermediate-risk group increased with Recurrence Score values, and evidence from ongoing randomized trials may help to clarify whether this finding reflects optimal interpretation of GEP test results.

Developing an Internet-based decision aid for women choosing between vaginal birth after cesarean and planned repeat cesarean.
This article is part of a series that address midwifery innovations in clinical practice, education, interprofessional collaboration, health policy, and global health. The authors outlined a framework and process used to create an Internet-based decision aid about birth choices after previous cesarean. They transformed a paper-based decision aid into a secure, interactive Web site to meet the diverse needs of women and providers.

Transforming patient-centered care: development of the evidence informed decision making through engagement model.
The purpose of this article is to set forth a new patient-centered implementation model informed by a qualitative study that explored women’s decisions, perceptions, and experiences of elective induction of labor. Through a process of theory evaluation and development, the authors explore patient-centered concepts (patient activation and shared decision making) within an implementation model by mapping qualitative data from an elective induction of labor study to assess the model’s ability to capture these key concepts.
