Although there has been a significant reduction in mortality, breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women worldwide. This decline in mortality has created a significant survivor population that must manage the post curative treatment phase, in order to have an increased quality of life and well-being. This study examined the relationship between symptom interference and severity with the perception of social support in the lives of women receiving or not receiving, hormonal therapy after initial treatment. Methods and sample Participants completed symptom severity and interference questionnaires, (MDASI and BCPT), a social support survey (MSPSS) and demographic and comorbidity questionnaires. Results Of the 210 women participants, higher symptom severity correlated with unemployment, living alone or being religious.

In the BCPT assessment, decreased cognitive functioning (p Conclusions Identifying socio-demographic variables and comorbidities that affect hormonal therapy symptom burden is essential for offering adequate support for breast cancer survivors. |
