Summary:
Daily patient participation is critical to the successful, life-saving delivery of
radiotherapy. There is very little in the literature describing the best way to prepare
patients to give optimal participation. This study aims to look at an already-prepared
conversion of patient instruction materials and measure whether the improvement in
clarity and specificity produces the desired changes in patient decision-making and
emotional comfort.
