This study is based on a multi-centered RCT conducted on breast cancer patients during their first consultation with an oncologist. The main aim was to evaluate whether the introduction of a communication tool (i.e., the Question Prompt Sheet or Question Listing), with or without a companion, impacted the number of questions asked by patients during the consultation, and subsequent psychological and relational outcomes.
