Communicating With Patients on Cancer Resistance to Treatment: the Development of a Communication Tool. (HECTOR)

Plain-language summary
Resistance to treatment is one of the major themes in cancer research. Despite this, the definition and clinical implications of resistance to treatment remain under-explored, and patient-physician communication in this context still constitutes a challenge. When resistance to cancer treatments occurs, physicians not only have to explain to the patient the phenomenon of resistance, often based on complex results (biological results, genomic tests, imaging, etc.), but also need to offer alternative therapies, whilst fostering shared medical decision-making. These different tasks are particularly challenging for clinicians, especially since there are large individual differences at patient level. Indeed, each patient has his or her own unique information needs, capacity for understanding, and level of desire to participate in treatment decisions.
