Detailed Description: Under the guidance by Ottawa Decision Support Framework (ODSF), International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS) and FDA guidance for Identify what is important to patients, the investigators use semi-structured interviews qualitative research methods to generate the decision making needs items of lung cancer patients who were diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma by intraoperative frozen section pathology and other stakeholders (including thoracic surgeons, nurses, hospital administrators, molecular testing company staffs and insurance company staffs). Then modified Delphi will be used to develop the Decision Aid for Lung Cancer Molecular Testing version 1.0 (DA_LCMT 1.0). One-to-one structured interviews qualitative research methods will be used in the Cognitive debriefing (alpha tests) and Field testing (β tests) to revise and improve the DA_LCMT from version 1.0 to finally version 3.0.
