Quality of Life Across the Continuum of Breast Cancer Care

Abstract

This article examines the quality of life concerns for women across the continuum of breast cancer care-from screening and high-risk status through palliative care. The psychosocial and quality of life concerns of women regarding breast cancer have been extensively studied, with much information available about these issues. Better awareness of these issues will facilitate the optimum care of women as they face screening, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease.
