Psychosocial and Physical Effects of Adjuvant Chemotherapy: Survey of younger women with breast cancer.
Year: 1991
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Breast cancer patients younger than 55 completed a questionnaire on psychosocial factors and physical side effects shortly after diagnosis and 9 to 15 months after diagnosis. Those who had used adjuvant chemotherapy were more likely than those who had not to report physical side effects; there was little difference in psychosocial factors. Recent users were more likely than ex-users to report physical side effects, difficulties with domestic chores, and improvement in psychosocial factors.
