Abstract

The article discusses research on the development of a computer-based education tool (CBET) which may be utilized during clinical visits of patients to a breast cancer specialist. Aside from animated videos, the CBET reportedly features graphics and written content that offer information on breast anatomy, tumor staging, and breast surgery options. It also explores feasibility and efficiency of CBET, the need to increase patient knowledge, and the preferred learning style of patients.
