Understanding how much inconvenience patients will accept in order to gain an outcome benefit radiotherapy (RT), may help understand & improve access to RT, influence doctors� attitudes on referring for RT & enhance shared decision making. RT related choices are important to all patients but likely to be particularly relevant to those from rural & remote areas. This research will explore perceptions of RT & develop a tool to measure RT-related inconvenience.

了解患者为了获得结果利益而接受多少不便，有助于了解和改善获得放射治疗的机会，影响医生�对转诊进行放射治疗的态度，并促进共同决策。与RT相关的选择对所有患者都很重要，但可能尤其与来自农村和偏远地区的患者相关。这项研究将探索人们对RT的认知，并开发一个工具来测量与RT相关的不便。
