Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a descriptive feasibility study of assessing how patients retain and understand information regarding radiation therapy obtained from an initial consult visit. This study will also pilot the use of visual aids and assess their utility to patients during a consult. The study will provide a baseline to conduct larger studies that will later incorporate additional patient education tools to assess changes in patient understanding of information received in radiation oncology patient consultations.
