Read about our latest research that set out to understand how different groups of patients with rectal cancer felt about different treatment outcomes. It showed that reducing the chances of cancer coming back was a priority across the three different groups they questioned, but other preferences were significantly different across the groups and influenced by their own experience. Professor Anne Miles said: “We know that people are often highly fearful of having a stoma, but thanks to our research, we can see that people with a stoma following rectal cancer treatment are less averse to it than people who have not had one. Hearing from people who have direct experience of different treatment outcomes will help newly diagnosed patients be more prepared for the effects of treatment so they can make informed decisions.” https://lnkd.in/eT4FtURX
