| Rationale |
As with any cancer therapy, patients and family members may misunderstand or not know the intent of an interventional oncologic procedure. This measure aims to enhance the patient experience with health care by increasing patient and family understanding of their care and to promote an environment of shared decision-making. The American Society of Clinical Oncology has a similar practice guideline for medical oncologists providing chemotherapy. |
