Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether using an interactive 3D tool during a standard surgical consultation can lead to greater patient satisfaction with the information provided about breast reconstruction options than the standard consultation alone. The study researchers will also assess whether women whose surgical consultation includes the use of the 3D tool are more satisfied with their breasts and with the decisions they made about their reconstruction procedure.

Conditions

• Breast Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	interactive 3D tool	The study tool displays 3-dimensional step-by-step animations of autologous and implant-based breast reconstruction procedures.
OTHER	BREAST-Q Reconstruction Module	The BREAST-Q Reconstruction Module1-3 has 6 domains that cover various aspects of patient satisfaction and quality of life. BREAST-Q is part of our standard of care for patients treated for breast cancer and referred for reconstruction.
OTHER	DQI	The DQI has 3 domains that cover decision-specific questions about what it is like for a patient to make decisions about reconstruction after breast cancer treatment.
OTHER	Ottawa Decision Regret Scale	The validated Decision Regret Scale measures distress or remorse after a health care decision by the use of 5 items to indicate the extent to which the respondent agrees or disagrees with the statements in the regret scale.
