The influence of cancer treatments on long-term psychological outcomes and quality of life in breast cancer patients
Breast cancer patients' depression, anxiety, FCR, and pain levels showed a decreasing trend over 48 months after discharge, while patients' QOL improved at the 12-month follow-up and remained stable throughout the study period. Patients with mastectomy experienced higher levels of anxiety than those with partial lumpectomy after 48 months post-surgery.
