Elucidating patient-perceived role in "decision-making" among African Americans receiving lung cancer care through a county safety-net system.
The researchers explored patient-perceived role in "decision-making" related to active treatment and palliation among African Americans receiving lung cancer care through a county safety-net system. They found that caregivers and patients expressed a concurrent lack of understanding of their prognosis and outcomes of treatment. Dyads did not discuss their lung cancer experience in terms of decision-making; rather, most articulated their role as following physician guidance.
