Breast Cancer Survivors' Perceptions of Their Cardiovascular Care During Treatment With Anthracyclines or Trastuzumab: A Qualitative Analysis
This qualitative analysis did not show striking differences in perceived care experiences between Black and White survivors. However, there were notable differences in community support, such as the inclusion of family members in treatment conversations and the receipt and timing of heart health information. Enhancing healthcare communication with a particular focus on culturally diverse populations is needed.
