The 4D PICTURE Project is studying whether a new tool called MetroMapping can improve how cancer patients and their doctors make treatment decisions together. The tool is designed to make complex cancer care paths easier to understand and less stressful. Researchers will compare how patients feel about their treatment conversations before and after MetroMapping is introduced at cancer centers in the Netherlands, Spain, and Denmark.
Many cancer patients feel overwhelmed when making big treatment decisions with their doctors, and important information can get lost in the process. This study aims to see whether this new planning tool can help patients feel more informed, confident, and involved in their own care decisions.

You will fill out surveys about your experience with treatment decision-making—either before or after MetroMapping is introduced at your cancer center. One week after your consultation with your doctor, you'll complete questionnaires (either online or on paper) asking how involved you felt in decisions, how clear the information was, and how confident you felt. Some participants may also be asked to have their consultation audio-recorded or to take part in an interview to help researchers better understand how the new tool affects patients' experiences.
