title: Treatment decisions: a qualitative study with women with gynaecological cancer.
abstract: This qualitative study investigated women's participation in decisions regarding treatment of gynaecological cancer. Thirty women, receiving health care in two tertiary hospitals in Australia, were interviewed face-to-face. For women with gynaecological cancer, the most influential factors in treatment decisions are still the surgeon's recommendation and fear of dying from cancer.
