TL;DR: Cancer patient values regarding quality of life and length of life are described and associations with communication preferences are explored and connections with information received from the physician are explored.

TL;DR: It is concluded that characterizing oncologist and patient perceived barriers can help improve communication and decision making about clinical trials, such that participation may be optimized.

TL;DR: In a recent National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine workshop entitled, "Incorporating Weight Management and Physical Activity Throughout the Cancer Care Continuum" as discussed by the authors, the authors summarized the key topics addressed in a recent NEMS workshop entitled "Weight management and physical activity throughout the cancer care continuum." Discussions related to body weight and PA among cancer survivors included: 1) current knowledge and gaps related to health outcomes; 2) effective intervention approaches; 3) addressing the needs of diverse populations of cancer survivors; 4) opportunities and challenges of workforce, care coordination,

TL;DR: Results show that the educational intervention reduced intention to obtain genetic testing among women at average risk and increased intention among high-risk women at 6 months, and theoretically designed interventions can be effective in helping women understand their cancer risk and appropriate risk assessment options.

TL;DR: Preparatory Education About Clinical Trials ( PRE-ACT), a theory-guided, Web-based, interactive computer program, to deliver tailored video educational content to patients in an effort to overcome barriers to considering clinical trials as a treatment option is developed.
