In light of the increased possibilities for using personalized statistics in clinical practice and decision aids, it appears that most cancer survivors want personalized statistical information during treatment decision-making.

We encourage further development and implementation of data-driven personalized decision support technologies in oncological care to support patients in treatment decision making.
