Decisional Conflict in Advanced Larynx Cancer | 117 4 Conclusion Most patients (>97.8%) with advanced laryngeal carcinoma face significant decisional conflict after counseling and after finishing treatment. They might be at risk for developing decision regret, depression and a lower quality of life, but this needs to be addressed in future research. The perceived level of shared decision-making by patients and physicians was high. There were relatively low knowledge levels regarding treatment and the consequences, especially for total laryngectomy. These findings highlight the complexity of decisionmaking in patients with advanced laryngeal carcinoma and the need for interventions to reduce decisional conflict and improve knowledge levels.
