Received Date: Nov 02, 2024 / Published Date: Nov 30, 2024
Abstract
Breast cancer survivorship is a growing area of focus as advancements in early detection and treatment have significantly improved survival rates. However, survivors often face a range of physical, emotional, and social challenges that can impact their quality of life. These challenges include persistent fatigue, lymphedema, cognitive impairments, and the psychosocial burden of living with the fear of recurrence. Additionally, long-term effects of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone therapy can lead to chronic health issues, necessitating comprehensive survivorship care. This review explores the multidimensional aspects of breast cancer survivorship and emphasizes the importance of holistic care strategies tailored to the needs of survivors. Interventions such as physical rehabilitation, mental health support, and lifestyle modifications are examined for their role in mitigating long-term side effects and promoting well-being. Emerging approaches, including digital health tools and personalized survivorship plans, are also discussed as innovative solutions to enhance patient care. By integrating medical, psychological, and social support services into survivorship care, healthcare providers can address the diverse needs of breast cancer survivors. This approach not only improves quality of life but also fosters resilience and empowers survivors to lead fulfilling lives beyond cancer.
