Molecular Analysis for Gastro-Esophageal Cancer: Multicenter Discrete Choice Experiment
This study asks patients and the general public about their preferences for different screening and diagnostic tools used to detect gastro-esophageal cancer. Researchers will use survey responses to understand which diagnostic methods people find most acceptable and what features matter most to them when choosing a screening tool.
Key Objective: This research helps identify patient preferences for cancer screening methods, which can guide doctors in recommending diagnostic approaches that patients are most willing to undergo.
Who to Consider: People concerned about gastro-esophageal cancer risk or those willing to share their preferences about medical screening tools should consider participating in this survey.
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The goal of this survey is to investigate the participants' preference for a specific screening/diagnostic tool to detect and assess gastro-esophageal cancer. The main question it aims to answer are: * Which diagnostic modality is preferred by patients and the general population? * Which features of the diagnostic test are most detrimental in the decision-making for one or the other modality? * Are geographical differences present in regard to the preference for a diagnostic modality? Participants will be asked to complete a survey of 20-25min, including a brief intake regarding their socio-economic status. This approach will allow us to correct for confounding factors.
