Area of Interest
Our research seeks to improve patient centered geriatric oncological care, integrating patient values, and caregiver input into shared decision making in the ambulatory clinic environment. Currently, we are developing a values assessment tool (VAsT) for use with women who have metastatic breast cancer and their caregivers. This study, funded by a developmental grant from the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, is the first step in creating an intervention to support communication of what is important to individuals with metastatic cancer facing important care decisions to their oncology clinicians.
