Shared decision-making in the medical encounter: What does it mean? (or it takes at least two to tango)
TL;DR: This paper attempts to provide greater conceptual clarity about shared treatment decision-making, identify some key characteristics of this model, and discuss measurement issues.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a meta-analysis of individual patient data for 10,801 women in 17 randomised trials of radiotherapy versus no radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery, 8337 of whom had pathologically confirmed node-negative (pN0) or node-positive (nN+) disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decision-making in the physician-patient encounter: revisiting the shared treatment decision-making model.
TL;DR: This revised framework provides a dynamic view of treatment decision-making by recognizing that the approach adopted at the outset of a medical encounter may change as the interaction evolves and has practical applications for clinical practice, research and medical education.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of radiotherapy after mastectomy and axillary surgery on 10-year recurrence and 20-year breast cancer mortality: meta-analysis of individual patient data for 8135 women in 22 randomised trials
