title: BresDex: helping women make breast cancer surgery choices.
abstract: Women diagnosed with early breast cancer face a difficult decision between mastectomy and breast conservation surgery with radiotherapy. BresDex is an interactive decision-making support tool, designed to go together with the assistance and information these women currently receive, to help them in making the right choices. This paper will discuss the concepts behind this decision-making tool, the development of the project and the role of clinical photography within it.
