Clareo Health | Individualizing Approaches to Surveillance Mammography in Older Breast Cancer Survivors

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a Shared Decision-Making (SDM) toolkit designed to support older breast cancer survivors aged 80 and above in making informed decisions about continuing surveillance mammography. A participant will be placed into one of two groups: Group A: Usual Care vs. Group B: SDM Toolkit according to the randomized placement of the assigned study clinician. Study procedures include questionnaires and option interviews with study staff. Participation in this research study is expected to last about 2 years. It is expected about 52 clinicians and 312 participants will take part in this research study. The National Institute on Aging is providing funding for this research study

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You may be eligible if

Women aged ≥ 80 years at the time of registration
History of stage 0-III breast cancer (Of note: ductal carcinoma in situ \[DCIS\], pleomorphic lobular carcinoma in situ \[because it is typically treated like DCIS\], or invasive breast cancer of any subtype are all eligible)
No history of a recurrent breast cancer (i.e., a breast cancer that is deemed metastatic or a locoregional recurrence of a prior cancer per clinician judgement rather than a new primary breast cancer). If a person has been diagnosed with multiple distinct breast cancers over time (e.g., history of left and right breast cancer), they are eligible as long as they meet other requirements for time since surgery, etc.
Has at least one intact breast
Has had mammogram screening/surveillance within the last 24 months
-≥ 12 months since most recent breast surgery to affected breast (e.g., breast reduction surgery on an unaffected breast within 12 months is ok)
No active cancer-directed therapy other than hormonal therapy and/or CDK 4/6 inhibitor therapy
Ability and willingness to take surveys
Receiving at least some of their oncology follow-up care at a participating site
Most recent mammogram report for the potential participant did not recommend additional diagnostic work-up or close interval follow-up imaging
* If a patient required diagnostic breast testing in the past or at the time of the most recent mammogram AND the results were resolved to benign findings with no additional diagnostics recommended, they are eligible.
* If a patient's most recent mammogram result isn't yet available at the time of approach or study consent, the patient is eligible to proceed with consent and enrollment. If this mammogram then abnormal or requires additional imaging, that patient will not be included in the study analyses or surveys. This patient will be replaced.
Must be an active clinician (MD, NP, or PA) at a participating institution
Sees at least one breast-cancer survivor aged ≥ 80
Clinician must be able to read, speak, and write in English

You may not be if

Inability to provide informed consent
Assigned male sex at birth
Breast or recent imaging findings requiring diagnostic testing at baseline
Prior discontinuation of mammography by electronic medical record (EMR) review or patient report
Prior atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) or non-pleomorphic LCIS only
Psychiatric illness situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
Those with metastatic breast cancer
Those in hospice care
Those whose clinician is not willing to participate
Pregnant women, young patients, and those in prison will not be eligible for enrollment given the study design and aims supporting study in a different population focused on older adults
