Patient-Reported Communication With Their Health Care Team About New Treatment Options for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

© The Author(s) 2021..

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) often requires consideration of multiple treatment options. Shared decision-making (SDM) is important, given the availability of increasingly novel therapies; however, patient-provider treatment conversations vary. We examined relationships between patient-provider discussions of new CLL treatment options and sociodemographic, clinical, and patient-provider communication variables among 187 CLL patients enrolled in Cancer Support Community's Cancer Experience Registry. Factors significantly associated with self-reports of whether patients' providers discussed new CLL treatment options with them were examined using χ2 tests, t tests, and hierarchical logistic regression. Fifty-eight percent of patients reported discussing new treatment options with their doctor. Patients with higher education were 3 times more likely to discuss new treatment options relative to those with lower education (OR = 3.06, P < .05). Patients who experienced a cancer recurrence were 7 times more likely to discuss new treatment options compared to those who had not (OR = 7.01, P < .05). Findings offer insights into the correlates of patient-provider discussions of new CLL treatment options. As novel therapies are incorporated into standards of care, opportunities exist for providers to improve patient care through enhanced SDM.
