Abstract Background This study explores patients’ need for information and support in deciding on esophageal cancer treatment, when experimental active surveillance and standard surgery are both feasible. Methods This psychological companion study was conducted alongside the Dutch SANO‐trial (Surgery As Needed for Oesophageal cancer). In‐depth interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data from patients who declined participation in the trial because they had a strong preference for either active surveillance (n = 20) or standard surgery (n = 20). Data were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. Results Patients prefer to receive information directly from their doctors and predominantly rely on this information to make a treatment decision. Other information resources are largely used to confirm their treatment decision. Patients highly value support from their loved ones and appreciate emphatic doctors to actively involve them in the decision‐making process. Overall, patients’ needs for information and support during decision‐making were met. Conclusions The importance of shared decision‐making and the role doctors have in this process is underlined. The role of doctors is essential at the initial phase of decision‐making: Once patients seem to have formed their treatment preference for either active surveillance or surgery, the influence of external resources (including doctors) may be limited. |
