Veterans' Decision Making for Prostate Cancer Germline Testing After Informed Consent With Their Oncologist: A Mixed-Methods Study
Although decisional conflict about germline testing was low, some patients made uninformed decisions and oncologists did not communicate all elements of informed consent according to guidelines. To promote patient-centered care, we recommend provider training about informed consent and shared decision making, increased oncology/genetics workforce capacity, and tailored patient-facing educational resources.
