Symptom burden and symptom clusters in patients with breast cancer undergoing endocrine therapy: a cross‐sectional survey
This study identified six symptom clusters among BC patients undergoing endocrine therapy and who utilize TCM in China. Clinical and demographic factors should be considered in managing these symptoms. The distress-sleep disturbance and hot flashes-sweating clusters particularly deserve more attention due to their significant impact on QoL.
