PubMed showed 12 matches, but ICHUSHI showed none, so the key word search the literature was broadened to "information seeking AND breast cancer" and "decision-making AND breast cancer." Results: The studies were classified thematically according to the information-seeking behavior concept, information needs, and decision-making preference and experience. First, the author discusses the concept and importance of information-seeking behavior. Second, the author addresses breast cancer patients' information needs and sources. Third, the relevance and assessment of preference and experience are discussed. Conclusion: Information-seeking is thought to be part of the problem-solving process that is aimed at achieving the goals of receiving the best medical treatment, recovering from illness, and improving a patient's health and quality of life.
