Decisions taken in non-curative settings differ substantially from those taken in curative settings, as uncertain gains in terms of survival outcomes and quality of life have to be weighed against severe side effects of treatment regimens. There is still a lack of tools developed and implemented for specific settings in cancer therapy that support shared decision-making. By using the newly developed decision aid HELP accompanied by the decision coaching, lung cancer patients can become aware of their wishes, preferences, and needs with regard to treatment decisions. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Help decision intervention and add evidence on decision aids in the context of incurable lung cancer.
