Background
Symptom burden and reduced quality of life (QOL) are considerable hurdles in oncology. The authors used the Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), which assesses physical and psychosocial health, to establish a mean symptom burden, examine potential drivers, and characterize severe symptom burden in breast cancer patient subgroups with the goal of characterizing...
Objective
To evaluate the psychosocial situation of breast cancer (BC) patients with dependent children, with regard to who used family‐centered psychosocial support (PS) services, reasons against using it, as well as existing, unmet needs, and current PS need.

BACKGROUND:Health‐related quality of life (HRQOL), body mass index (BMI), and physical activity (PA) levels have all been associated with prognosis following breast cancer and may explain partially the higher mortality for breast cancer in certain racial/ethnic subgroups. In this study, associations between PA, BMI, and HRQOL by race were examined in a sample of breast cancer survivors.
METHODS:Measures...

These factors significantly impact the overall appearance of the breast. A number of studies have...
