Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In 2017, it is estimated that 318,590 Americans, men and women, will be diagnosed with breast cancer (American Cancer Society, 13). It was predicted in the 1970s that 1 in 11 Americans would be diagnosed with breast cancer, currently, it is 1 in 8 people. A person is twice as likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer if they have one first-degree female with a diagnosis, 3-4 times if there is more than one first-degree female relative with a diagnosis. Reasons for this increase in breast cancer diagnoses are that people are living longer, changes in reproductive patterns, increases or decreases in menopausal hormone use, increased numbers of detection through screening including genetic testing, and the rising prevalence of obesity (American Cancer Society). The purpose of this study is to better understand how a diagnosis of breast cancer supports change in diet and their food story. Qualitative methodology and specifically the long interview is the method the team will use to gain insight into adult patients' perceptions of their food story.

- measure
- Breast cancer patients relationship with food.
- timeFrame
- 10 years
- description
- A patient recently diagnosed with breast cancer will be more aware of the relationship they have with diet then those patients that have been in treatment for an extended period of time. The investigators will analyze the data for thick description and for themes that emerge during the analysis by following procedures developed by Corbin and Strauss.
