Interviews with breast medical oncologists about discussing prognosis and using a prognostic tool

Our team developed a calculator to help oncologists better estimate prognosis in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Using this information, our team developed a prognostic calculator to predict risk of death within 30 days for patients with MBC. For this information to impact care, it will have to be used in clinical practice. In order to increase the likelihood of successful adoption of the calculator into clinical practice, we will study its implementation and evaluate its impact. In this study, we will seek the input of doctors, nurses, and advance practice providers who care for patients with MBC to better understand the factors that encourage and dissuade discussion of prognosis and use of such a prognostic tool.
