Brief Summary:
This study is being conducted to investigate the effect of a more in-depth education plan for patients with breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive either the standard education plan during their breast cancer treatment or they will receive in-depth education about their breast cancer treatment. In order to see what kind of effect the different education plans have, patients will fill out three identical questionnaires during the course of treatment.
Detailed Description:
This study will be a prospective study of women receiving adjuvant radiation therapy for management of breast cancer at the University of California Davis. All patients will be staged according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer Seventh edition. Primary disease treatment information including surgical approach and utilization of adjuvant chemotherapy will be evaluated.
All patients will have a validated quality of life assessment (FACIT-TS-PS) completed at three time points during their radiation therapy process. The patients will be randomized at the time of completion of radiation plan approval by the treating radiation oncologist in a one to one fashion to either proceed with standard education or more extensive plan review. The radiation oncology quality assurance (QA) process will be blinded to the randomization of the patient.
