Improving communication about low risk ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)

Dr. Anna R Gagliardi, Senior Scientist at the University Health Network, is conducting a Canadian Cancer Society funded study to identify non-cancer labels for Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and is inviting you along with other women from across Canada who had DCIS, to shape recommendations on the labels, language, and other strategies that physicians should use to improve communication about DCIS. This may reduce confusion and anxiety among women with low-risk forms of DCIS. This study involves completing a  two-part survey that, in total, will require about 20 minutes of your time over the next month.

First, read the two documents attached: a one-page summary of our research and a list of the survey items. Then, if you are interested in participating or wish to learn more about the study, please contact the study coordinator Mavis.Lyons@uhn.ca. Participation in this study is completely voluntary.
