About
Megan Berry’s research sits at the vital intersection of oncology and patient-centered care, focusing on how men with localized prostate cancer navigate the deeply personal choice between robotic prostatectomy and radiotherapy. Her work addresses a critical gap: while both treatments offer similar cure rates, their side-effect profiles differ dramatically, making the decision highly preference-sensitive. Berry’s most influential study, a qualitative analysis of decision support needs (21 citations), reveals that men often feel overwhelmed and under-supported, highlighting the need for clearer, more empathetic communication tools. Her subsequent work demonstrates that structured, combined clinics can dramatically reduce decisional conflict and boost patient satisfaction. As the lead author of the PREPaRE study protocol, she laid the groundwork for a comprehensive mixed-methods investigation into this complex decision-making process. By giving voice to patients’ lived experiences and quantifying the benefits of integrated care models, Berry is reshaping how clinicians support men facing one of the most consequential choices of their lives. Her research is a powerful reminder that the best treatment is one the patient feels truly informed and confident in choosing.
