Exploring the Role of Patient Preferences in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treatment Decisions: A Qualitative Study
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment decisions are often complex and may become increasingly so as new treatment options emerge.Improved understanding of tradeoffs and patient preferences in treatment decisions will enhance patient-provider discussions, facilitate patient-centered trials to develop new treatments, and inform HCC treatment guidelines.This qualitative study of patients and providers provided information on the values considered in HCC treatment decisions and the importance of considering the tradeoffs of efficacy, toxicity, and inconvenience/costs.These insights can be used to develop preference elicitation tools, perform large-scale preference elicitation surveys, and systematically assess and incorporate patient preferences into treatment decisions.
