Results

Among 26 eligible patients, 24 completed the PDA evaluation. All participants (100%) reported improved understanding, and 75% experienced reduced anxiety. Final treatment choices were SBRT in 15 patients (57.7%), surgery in 9 (34.6%), and observation in 2 (7.7%), indicating a shift toward SBRT compared to historical trends in Japan.

Baseline Characteristics

The analysis included 26 patients with a median age of 74 years (range 52-87). There were 12 males (46.2%) and 14 females (53.8%). The majority of patients presented with clinical stage T1b (38.5%) or T1c (30.8%) disease. Histology was confirmed as adenocarcinoma in 12 patients (46.2%), while 11 (42.3%) were unconfirmed. Most patients (80.8%) had a performance status of 0.

Participant flow

A total of 27 patients provided informed consent. One patient was excluded due to clinical T3 disease, leaving 26 eligible patients who used the PDA and made a treatment selection (surgery, SBRT, or observation). Of these, 24 patients completed the PDA utility evaluation. Two patients who selected observation were excluded from the Decision Conflict Scale (DCS) analysis, resulting in a final analysis set of 22 patients (surgery n=8, SBRT n=14).

Adverse events

No physical adverse events related to the use of the PDA were reported. In the evaluation of the PDA, one patient (4.2%) reported increased anxiety after using the tool, while 75.0% reported reduced anxiety and 20.8% reported no change.

Outcome measures

Primary outcomes included patient-perceived utility of the PDA (improvement in understanding, changes in anxiety, and helpfulness), decisional conflict measured by the Decision Conflict Scale (DCS), and changes in treatment preferences before and after PDA use.
