Therefore, patients can experience confusion, leading to anxiety and distress that might damage the relationship with physicians and treatment adherence. Literature showed that implementing decision aid tools during consultation can promote patients’ knowledge and awareness about lung cancer and available oncological intervention, improving a shared decision-making process. However, not all lung cancer patients always appreciate decision aids’ implementation. The present qualitative study explored patients’ opinions and preferences regarding the implementation of decision aids during medical consultation. Twenty-two lung cancer patients who have already attended medical consultations for lung cancer voluntarily participated in four online focus groups carried out between January 2023 and December 2024. A thematic analysis with a bottom-up approach highlighted three main themes: the typology and number of information that patients would have received, the relevance of patient-and-doctor relationship, and the effects of providing additional decision-making tools on patients’ emotions and preferences. Findings showed controversial opinions among patients, highlighting the relevance of personalized intervention tailored to patients’ preferences. Practical implications are given.  \nKeywords Lung cancer patients · Decision aids · Shared decision-making · Doctor-patient relationship · Focus group  \nIntroduction  \nLung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death in Italy and worldwide.

Frequent symptoms include cough, dyspnea, anorexia, hemoptysis, fatigue, and chest pain, which impair Quality of Life (QoL) strongly [2, 3] . In general, there are different oncological treatment options for patients with NSCLC, according to their disease stage and characteristics,moreover, more than one oncological treatment in combination or consecutively with each other must be often implemented [4] . Physicians use to present lung cancer patients with all possible treatment options during oncological consultations. Interestingly, studies evidenced that patients reported high levels of unmet supportive care needs and many doubts about treatment options and ruminative thinking, which often remain unresolved after medical consultations [5, 6] .
