Valued Outcomes In The Cancer Experience: Patient Priorities And Control.

84Background: In the era of value-based cancer care, identifying what is important to cancer survivors, and their perceived control over these experiences, can inform shared decision-making and support quality care. We examined cancer patient priorities and control to guide the development of a new measure of patient value, Valued Outcomes in the Cancer Experience (VOICE).
