“Patient Insight Report: Women’s Cancer”
Overview:
The anticancer therapy market has increased threefold in the last ten years. Once considered an incurable disease, the five-year survival rate is improving every year and cancer today is increasingly becoming a disease that one “lives with.”
An increase in cancer treatment options has prompted new medical practices. Informed consent sees patients agree to treatment options only after receiving explanations from their physicians, while shared decision-making has physicians and patients confirm evidential information and select treatment methods together. Healthcare today is shifting from treatment that physicians one-sidedly offer, to one that patients proactively learn about and choose.
This report examines women’s cancer (gynecological and breast cancer) patients’ attitudes and behaviors when selecting treatment, with a focus on patients of the three main women’s cancers. It then sets out to determine how the volume and content of media coverage influence the patient’s decision-making on treatment, as well as the influence of activities by patient group and information shared by individuals.
