Shared Decision-Making in Hematologic Malignancies

Video
Conference|National Comprehensive Cancer Network Annual Meeting (NCCN)

In this video we discuss the goals of shared-decision making in hematologic malignancies and touch upon different scenarios where its use may be appropriate.

In this video, Thomas W. LeBlanc, MD, MA, of the Duke Cancer Institute in Durham, North Carolina, discusses the goals of shared-decision making when treating patients with hematologic malignancies and touches upon different scenarios where its use may be appropriate.

Dr. LeBlanc gave a presentation on this topic at the 11th Annual National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Hematologic Malignancies Congress, held September 1–October 1 in New York.
