Shared decision-making, treatment priorities and communication gaps in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: an Israeli national survey.

Israeli CLL patients and their doctors often disagree on treatment priorities, highlighting why structured shared decision-making conversations matter.

This Israeli national survey of CLL patients reveals significant communication gaps and discordant treatment priorities between patients and oncologists in CLL management, highlighting the need for structured shared decision-making frameworks. The findings are relevant to patient-centered care in CLL but represent descriptive survey data with limited generalizability.
