abstract = {It is important to monitor disease-specific health-related
quality of life (HRQoL) in breast cancer (BC) survivors to
identify potential unmet supportive care needs. However,
previous studies were characterized by small samples of
mostly short-term survivors and were limited to certain age
ranges, stages and/or treatments.We used data from 3045
long-term BC survivors (5-15 years post-diagnosis) recruited
in a German multi-regional population-based study. We
assessed disease-specific HRQoL with the EORTC QLQ-BR23,
scoring from 0 to 100. Differences in functioning and
symptoms according to age at survey, self-reported
treatments, stage, and disease status (disease-free vs.
active disease) were assessed with multiple regression.
Active disease was defined as any self-report of recurrence,
metastasis or second primary cancer after the index
cancer.Older BC survivors reported a higher body image and a
better future perspective, but lower sexual functioning.
Survivors aged 30-49 years who had breast-conserving therapy
or mastectomy with breast reconstruction reported a better
body image compared to those who had mastectomy only. We
also found differences in symptoms according to treatments
in some age groups. Stage at diagnosis was not associated
with HRQoL overall and in most age subgroups. Disease-free
BC survivors aged 30-79 years reported a better future
perspective and less systemic therapy side effects than
those with active disease.Several treatment-associated
symptoms and functioning detriments were found 5-15 years
after diagnosis. The results emphasize the need of a
comprehensive, individualized survivorship care, recognizing
differential needs of long-term BC survivors according to
age, treatment modalities, and disease status.},
