Study summary

The purpose of this observational study is to determine patients' and professionals' preferences for the characteristics (attributes) of the treatment for Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in Spain and Portugal.

Read the detailed description

This study uses a literature review, qualitative (focus groups) and quantitative methods (discrete-choice experiment, DCE) to determine renal cell carcinoma (RCC) participants and oncologists' preferences. In this clinical trial, the study team will develop a survey consisting of comparisons of hypothetical treatment profiles (scenarios). Scenarios are presented to participants, and each participant chooses the most preferable.
