Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to compare the effectiveness of radiotherapy-specific, physician-led educational videos introduced before the initial Radiation Therapy consultation . The primary objective is to assess the impact on patient-reported knowledge of RT, with secondary objectives including assessment of patient-reported anxiety and satisfaction with the educational process. Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups. 1. Video Group - Patients will receive a WhatsApp message containing the educational video prior to their consultation. 2. Verbal Instruction Group - Patients will receive standard verbal education from a radiation oncologist during their consultation. The participants will fill Pre and post intervention questionnaire forms
