CePORT developed and evaluated the Breast Cancer Decision Aid （《選擇乳癌手術—何去何從？》) (supported by Hong Kong Cancer Fund) aiming to help women diagnosed with early breast cancer to make informed treatment decisions by introducing various treatment options and each of their advantages and potential trade-offs.

Our research findings showed the patient decision aids benefit Chinese women with breast cancer by reducing decisional conflict and subsequent regret and depressive symptoms (supported by Health and Medical Research Fund (2009-2010).
