Life after breast cancer: understanding women's health-related quality of life and sexual functioning.

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

BCS report more frequent physical and menopausal symptoms than healthy women, yet report HRQL and sexual functioning comparable to that of healthy, age-matched women. Nevertheless, some survivors still experience poorer functioning, and clinicians should inquire about common symptoms to provide symptomatic management or counseling for these women.
