Daily patient participation is critical to the successful, life-saving delivery of radiotherapy. There is very little in the literature describing the best way to prepare patients to give optimal participation. This study aims to look at an already-prepared conversion of patient instruction materials and measure whether the improvement in clarity and specificity produces the desired changes in patient decision-making and emotional comfort.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients ≥ 18 years old planning their first external beam radiotherapy
• Written informed consent obtained from the subject and the subject agrees to comply with all the study-related procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Have received external beam radiotherapy in the past
• External beam radiotherapy is initiated as inpatient.
• External beam radiotherapy consists of less than 3 fractions.
• Planned radiotherapy that does not employ an external beam
• Planned participation in a clinical study that prohibits participation in a second, concurrent treatment trial
• Prisoners or subjects who are involuntarily incarcerated, or subjects who are compulsorily detained for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical illness.
