Abstrakt: Aim: To understand breast cancer patients' trade-offs when choosing treatments and to identify the most important treatment attributes which drive decisions. Materials & methods: A discrete choice experiment was conducted in France, Ireland, Poland and Spain. Progression-free survival, febrile neutropenia, pain, functional well-being and out-of-pocket payment were the treatment attributes. Results: 371 patients were willing to pay €6896 per year for 1 additional year of progression-free survival, €17,288 per year for perfect functional well-being and €15,138 for one pain-free year. Patients are willing to trade off progression-free survival months for better functional abilities and less pain. Conclusion: Patient preferences should be considered by regulatory agencies, reimbursement bodies, payors and clinicians for best treatment choices for the individuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
