Summary

This study involved 155 women with early breast cancer who had been taking hormone therapy for 2-3 years. Researchers wanted to understand how skin-related side effects from the treatment impact their quality of life. Participants filled out questionnaires about their skin symptoms and how they affected their daily activities and emotions. The goal was to measure the real-world burden of these skin issues.
