Read our Breast Cancer research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing a new online decision aid designed to help women with early-stage breast cancer make a more informed choice between two common surgical options: lumpectomy (removing just the tumor and some surrounding tissue) and mastectomy (removing the entire breast). The study will measure whether this decision aid helps patients feel less stressed, more confident, and better prepared for their surgery choice.
Many women newly diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer feel overwhelmed when facing the decision between lumpectomy and mastectomy. This study exists to see whether a specially designed online tool can help patients understand their options better, feel more supported in their decision-making, and ultimately feel more satisfied with the choice they make.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive an online decision aid tool to review before making your surgical choice; the other group will receive an educational pamphlet about surgical options instead. You will complete surveys and questionnaires about your experience, feelings about your decision, and health literacy. Some participants may be invited to participate in a brief interview to share their feedback.
