Shared Decision Making Supported by Patient Decision Aids for Prostate Cancer Screening and Treatment

چکیده
El cáncer de próstata es un problema importante para los hombres mayores en países desarrollados. Las decisiones acerca del screening y tratamiento del cáncer de próstata se caracterizan por múltiples opciones razonables que parecen “arriesgadas”, donde las preferencias personales de los pacientes son importantes. Se va reconociendo de modo creciente la toma de decisión compartida entre el paciente y el clínico como un modelo ideal para elecciones “sensibles a las preferencias” tales como las implicadas en el screening, el diagnóstico, y el tratamiento. Muchos ensayos aleatorizados de ayudas a la decisión para el screening de cáncer de próstata han mostrado consistentemente mejorías en la calidad de la decisión, así como un mayor interés en llevar a cabo la prueba del PSA cuando los pacientes están bien informados. En contraste, es necesaria una mayor investigación sobre el efecto de las ayudas a la decisión en las decisiones sobre el tratamiento del cáncer de próstata. Sin embargo, con los datos disponibles sobre su efectividad, se hace muy necesaria la investigación sobre el modo de implantar las ayudas a la decisión en el cribado con PSA, así como en otras decisiones críticas que se dan en la práctica clínica durante el tratamiento del cáncer de próstata.
