Background: Prostate cancer is the leading cancer among men. Advances in therapeutic techniques, personalized medicine, and the integration of targeted therapies have significantly improved patient outcomes, resulting in a 5-year overall survival of 93%. However, effective patient care requires a shared decision-making framework and clear communication between healthcare professionals and patients. The initial step in patient care involves disclosing the cancer diagnosis during a dedicated consultation, laying the foundation for the patient-physician trust relationship. Nowadays, less than 50% of patients declared that they understood the information provided during the announcement consultation. The main objective of our study is to assess the effect of the announcement system, reinforced by animated videos, on patients' overall understanding of their diagnosis and treatment. Methods: To enhance the disclosure process, animated videos were developed to outline the patient care journey. This multicenter, controlled before-and-after study aimed to evaluate the impact of the usual disclosure process enhanced by animated videos on patients' understanding of advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. Patients were sequentially assigned to two arms: the standard arm (first 45 patients) received usual written and oral information, while the intervention arm (next 45 patients) received written and oral information supplemented by animated videos. To evaluate the effect of the enhanced disclosure process on patients' overall understanding of their diagnosis and treatment using the EORTC QLQ-INFO25 questionnaire at baseline (Day 0) and after 1 month (Day 30), compared to the standard group without enhanced disclosure. This prospective study is the first to assess the impact of supplementing the standard disclosure process with animated videos positively impacts patients' comprehension of advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. The findings will support the potential value of integrating visual aids into the diagnostic disclosure consultation to enhance patient understanding and promote informed decision-making. Clinical trial information: NCT06117696.
