Abstract:
e16576 Background: Shared decision-making is the process of deliberately interacting with patients who wish to make informed value-based choices, when there are no indicated best treatment options. Given the wide variation in prostate cancer treatment options, clinical decision-support systems (CDSS) may effectively support treatment decisions for patients with challenging risk-benefit profiles. However, limited data are available regarding CDSS in shared decision making. This study aimed to assess the alignment of CDSS therapeutic options with treatment received through a shared decision process. Methods: We identified patients with prostate cancer (Gleason Groups 1-5) who were engaged in shared treatment decision making, (from August–September 2018) at the Instituto do Câncer do Ceará, Brazil. IBM Watson for Oncology (WfO), a CDSS was used for the study. Treatment decisions were compared with WfO options (active surveillance, clinical trial, chemotherapy [CT], hormone therapy [HT] , radiation [RT], brachytherapy [brachy] , surgery and systemic therapy with GnRH suppression) and categorized as concordant (equivalent), partially concordant (a partial match), or discordant. Results: Concordance between WfO and shared treatment decisions was observed in 54% (26/48) of patients, partial concordance in 15% (7/48) and discordance in 31% (15/48). Most frequent treatments were RT+HT combination therapy (25%) and prostatectomy (21%). 8/15 (53%) discordant cases were due to patient preference for treatment over active surveillance. Patient preference for treatment over active surveillance was the most common reason (53%) for discordance. Conclusions: Variation in prostate cancer treatment exists. CDSS therapy options may be useful in quantifying and modifying unwarranted variations in prostate cancer treatment. Future studies are important for understanding reasons for variations.
