Breast Cancer: Survivorship and Quality of Life

Description

As survivorship care planning becomes increasingly included in quality metrics, understanding the realities of survivorship, and the effects on quality of life, is key to successful care management. Breast Cancer: Survivorship and Quality of Life helps you anticipate, assess, and address these concerns.
