Supportive Care Needs of Breast Cancer Survivors: A Needs Assessment

This phase I/II research trial studies supportive care questionnaires in gathering data on
unmet needs and health-related quality of life in Latina breast cancer survivors after
surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Questionnaires that address unmet supportive
care needs and health-related quality of life of breast cancer survivors may help doctors
learn about barriers to cancer care that are linked to language, acculturation, knowledge
about diagnosis and care, and financial concerns. Learning about unmet needs of breast cancer
patients may help increase quality of life and decrease healthcare utilization and costs.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the supportive care needs and preferences of breast cancer survivors at Los
Angeles County + University of Southern California (USC) Medical Center (LAC+USC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the lifestyle-related challenges of individuals with breast cancer being
treated at LAC+USC.

II. To determine the communication and healthcare delivery style needs and preferences of
individuals with breast cancer being treated at LAC+USC.
