Brief Summary:

This study will examine how ctDNA and additional prognostic genomic information in patients with early stage breast cancer might influences patient decision- making regarding systemic therapy options.

Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Detailed Description:

This study is an electronically delivered, one time cross sectional survey study. The investigators want to understand how patients with triple negative breast cancer at high risk for disease recurrence will prioritize additional benefit over toxicity when considering treatment options, and if their knowledge of ctDNA positivity versus negativity will further shift this balance toward benefit.

Primary Outcome Measures :

  1. Examine whether knowledge of ctDNA negativity influences patient decision-making [ Time Frame: Once all surveys in the sample size are completed, 6 months anticipated ]

    Ratings- based analysis will be used to examine whether knowledge of ctDNA negativity increases patient acceptability (and if so, by how much) of no therapy in the adjuvant setting, compared to standard of care capecitabine.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

  1. Estimate at what degree of benefit a given treatment would be acceptable to patients [ Time Frame: Once all surveys in the sample size are completed, 6 months anticipated ]

    When assuming risk of recurrence of ctDNA positivity, we will use ratings- based conjoint analysis to determine part-worth utilities of each attribute – potential toxicity and potential benefit. Comparison of part-worth utilities will be used to estimate at what degree of benefit a given treatment would be acceptable, which will inform future trials.
