Researchers at the University of Calgary are conducting a study to explore how patient and physician factors—such as background, experiences, and personal beliefs—influence shared treatment decision-making. The study seeks to better understand patients’ experiences and challenges when making treatment decisions with their oncologists, as well as their perspectives on what an ideal treatment discussion would look like.

Participants in the study will be asked to complete two questionnaires that include questions about socio-demographic background, psychological factors, and details of their cancer diagnosis. They will also take part in one focus group (approximately 90 minutes) with other cancer patients and survivors.
As a token of appreciation, participants will receive a $25 gift card for sharing their insights and experiences.

Who is eligible to participate?

• Adults (18+) diagnosed with cancer within the past two years (2023 – present)

We are UBC researchers studying how cancer patients feel about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in their care, especially when it comes to predicting life expectancy. Through one-on-one interviews, either in-person or virtually, we hope to learn about patients’ thoughts, expectations, comfort levels, and any concerns they may have about using AI in medical decisions. By gathering the experiences of people receiving cancer care, we aim to better understand how patients view these new technologies. Our findings will help improve patient education, support clear communication, and guide the use of AI tools to benefit patient care and outcomes.

Who is eligible to participate?

To participate in this study, you much be a patient with a cancer diagnosis (of any stage and any type), be 18 years or older, have the capacity to make decisions, and reside in British Columbia.
