PDA Development for Oropharynx Cancer | 167 6 Conclusion We developed a Dutch multidisciplinary patient decision aid focusing on treatment decisions for oropharyngeal tumors for whom primary transoral (robotic) surgery could be a curative treatment, following the quality criteria of IPDAS36. This web-based tool has shown to be feasible and an addition for regular counseling, as assessed by clinicians and OPSCC survivors. To this end, a multicenter trial has started in 2022 comparing regular care to patients receiving the PDA (www.kanker.nl, trial 1339) to investigate the effect of using a PDA in daily practice on patient knowledge and decisional conflict. Results are expected in 2026. Acknowledgements: The Dutch Patient Society, dr. Karssemakers, prof. Smeele, prof. Takes, dr. Van den Hoek, dr. Van Weert, dr. Navran, dr. Hamming, dr. Doornaert, dr.
