This study is to find out the acceptability of a 3D printed breast model by patients as they consider their surgical treatment options. Researchers also want to learn the possible impact of the 3D printed breast model in the patient's decision making process.

Full description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine feasibility and explore the acceptability of 3 dimensional (3D) printed breast models as a decision aid in breast cancer treatment decision making.

OUTLINE:

Patients complete questionnaire over 5 minutes about difficulties in making decision about breast cancer treatment, then participate in a consultation with regular care doctor and study doctor/study staff using the 3D breast model. Patients then complete questionnaires over 5-10 minutes about their opinions on the breast model and different breast surgical treatment options available.

Sex: Female

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
