BREAST CANCER: RECOVERY AND QUALITY OF LIFE

Course overview

Women with breast cancer (BC) may have decreased QOL after completing their initial BC treatment regimen; this population is commonly referred to as BC survivors. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of recovery and QOL after treatment for BC, including the effect of BC on QOL, perceived QOL during recovery, and interventions to promote QOL, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
