Breast cancer survivors: Main physical and psychosocial problems after completion of treatment at a Brazilian cancer center.

e24057 Background: The number of breast cancer survivors has grown worldwide in recent years due to advances in treatments, however, increased survival lead to the appearance of signs and symptoms after the end of treatment that affect the quality of life of these patients in the long term. Methods: Women aged 20-60 years with a diagnosis of breast cancer and primary treatment for at least 1 year were selected. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) questionnaire was used and sociodemographic data, life habits and clinical conditions of the participants were collected. The primary end point was to identify the main repercussions of breast cancer and its treatments. Results: A total of 87 women were enrolled for this study. The mean age was 48.5 years. The main symptoms identified were pain (15.48%), nausea (13.10%), fatigue (11.90%), hot flashes (9.52%) and insomnia (5.95%). The total FACT-B+4 score was 110.75 (SD 20.02). No statistically significant variables were identified as predictors of worsening quality of life. Conclusions: The main residual problems in breast cancer survivors 1 year after curative treatment at Hospital São Camilo Oncologia were identified, however, it was not possible to establish significant predictors of worsening quality of life. We will conduct a new interview in 1 year using others quality of life assessment instruments.
