The key components of shared decision making include ensuring that patients understand the topic, healthcare providers have taken the time to learn about the patients and their values, and patients have been involved in making the final choice. When these elements are present, it signifies successful shared-decision making. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Annual Congress in Chicago, IL.
