Long Term Follow-Up in Patients With Stage 0-IIIC Breast Cancer

Long Term Follow Up After Breast Cancer

This trial studies long term follow-up care in patients with stage 0-IIIC breast cancer. Collecting feedback from breast cancer patients may help researchers to define comprehensive long term follow-up care for breast cancer survivors, better understand health-related quality of life and long-term complications in breast cancer survivors, and to increase the knowledge of the mechanisms by which a patient's own immune system attempts to combat breast cancer, and what factors may make this response more successful.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To provide comprehensive care to breast cancer survivors diagnosed with stage 0 to IIIC, who received at least part of their treatment at City of Hope.

II. To use the information obtained from follow-up of breast cancer survivors to describe the magnitude of risk and associated risk factors.

III. To use the information gained from follow-up of breast cancer survivors to describe health-related quality of life (HRQL) concerns in breast cancer survivors and identify those at highest risk.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo long term follow-up and complete questionnaires.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of breast cancer, stage 0-IIIC
• Partial or entire treatment at City of Hope
• Must be registered before adjuvant therapy and ideally before definitive local therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

• Stage IV breast cancer
• Recurrent breast cancer
• Prior cancers, chemotherapy or radiation * (Note: Subjects who develop locoregional or systemic recurrence while enrolled on this protocol will be withdrawn, and will continue their care with their primary oncology providers only)
