Comparing Symptom Clusters in Recurrent Breast Cancer Survivors: A Latent Profile Analysis

This study highlights the utility of LPA in identifying distinct SCs among recurrent breast cancer survivors, linked to local-regional and distant recurrence. The findings suggest that healthcare providers should prioritize managing sleep disturbances and worsening worry in survivors with local-regional recurrence, and pain and sleep disturbances in those with distant recurrence. Addressing these SCs through personalized care strategies may improve QOL for this population.
