Long-Term Patient-Reported Outcomes in Older Breast Cancer Survivors: A Population-Based Survey Study

For older women with breast cancer, local therapy options may include lumpectomy plus whole breast irradiation (Lump+WBI), lumpectomy plus brachytherapy (Lump+Brachy), lumpectomy alone (Lump alone), mastectomy without radiation (Mast alone), and mastectomy plus radiation (Mast+RT). We surveyed a population-based cohort of older breast cancer survivors to assess the association of local therapy with long-term quality of life (QOL) outcomes.
