Challenges in Decision‐Making for Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy in Korea: A Qualitative Study of Perspectives of Patients With Hereditary Breast Cancer and Providers
This study highlights gaps and challenges in information, support, and decision-making roles between patients and HCPs. A shared decision-making approach, backed by insurance reimbursement, could help bridge these gaps. Providing additional resources- counseling time, staffing, space, and decision aids-may improve patient-centered decision-making in the Korean healthcare context.
