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.
