Empowering You Through Shared Decision-Making at M | O | C

At M | O | C, we believe cancer care is a journey best taken together. That's why we prioritize shared decision-making, a collaborative approach where you and your oncologist work together to create a tailored treatment plan that's right for you.

Gone are the days when treatment decisions were solely based on a doctor's opinion. Shared decision-making empowers you to be an active participant in your care. We offer two primary models to facilitate this:

Informative Model: Here, we provide you with all the necessary information about your treatment options. This empowers you to ask questions and make informed decisions.
Interpretive Model: This model delves deeper. We discuss your values, goals, and preferences to help you choose the treatment that best aligns with your unique situation. This approach is ideal when multiple treatment options exist.
The Power of Information & Collaboration

Today's patients have access to a wealth of information online. This empowers you to read, know more about your treatment options and come to your appointments informed and have refined & detailed discussions with your treating oncologist.

Shared decision-making benefits both you and your doctor:

For You: You gain a deeper understanding of your diagnosis, treatment options, and potential outcomes. This empowers you to make choices aligned with your values and goals.

For Your Doctor: By understanding your preferences, they can tailor a treatment plan that considers not just medical effectiveness, but also considering your emotional, physical & financial well-being. This can lead to better treatment adherence and potentially improved outcomes.
