Evaluating the Physical and Psychological Effects of Cancer Treatment in Patients With Breast Cancer
A Prospective (Cohort) Study to Identify Factors Affecting Morbidity Following the Diagnosis and Treatment of Patients With Breast Cancer: A Multi-Institutional Study Between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Rehabilitation Medicine Department (RMD) and the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) Breast Care Center (BCC)

RATIONALE: Gathering health information from patients who received breast cancer treatment may help doctors better understand the effects of treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is gathering health information from patients who received breast cancer treatment and from those who did not to determine the physical and psychological effects of breast cancer treatment.

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the frequency and severity of symptom distress, pathological conditions, physical impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities during the course of medical treatment.
  • Strengthen the morbidity risk factor model developed in a previous retrospective study.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Information about demographics; past medical history; family history; current medical illness and treatment; pain history; and social, physical, and recreational activities is obtained by patient interview and medical record review at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Patients undergo standard upper body clinical physical exams (weight, height, range of motion, strength, upper limb lift testing, and arm girth) by a physical therapist at the same time points. Patients also complete the Upper Limb Disability Questionnaire, Quality of Life Questionnaire, and Physical Activity Questionnaire at baseline and at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
