Follow-up after treatment for breast cancer in young women
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryThe majority (80%) of breast cancers are diagnosed In women over the age of 50; only 5% will be In their 20s and 30s. These women have specific needs that include genetic counselling, psychological support, advice with regard to fertility and pregnancy issues and information on coping with treatment-related morbidity. The primary purpose of follow-up is often regarded as the early detection of recurrence as well as the detection of second primary tumours. Rather than concentrating solely on detecting cancer recurrence, clinicians need to be more susceptive to symptoms related to treatment morbidity and to the information needs of their patients. This paper outlines the specific issues listed above that need to be addressed in follow-up clinics and highlights interventions that may help improve the value of follow-up appointments and quality of life for young women with breast cancer.
