Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Breast cancer (BC) have unmet needs that can impact negatively on participation in meaningful activities and the overall quality of life, if not addressed by the healthcare services. One of those needs is the return to work (RTW) for female in their working age. The perceived needs of BC patients and RTW process might be influenced by sociodemographic data, disease-related, and work-related factors. Moreover, needs might change (type and priority) from diagnosis onwards. Prospective data regarding these topics have never been collected in Italian BC patients.
