Summary

This study looked at how breast cancer affects the quality of life of young women (under 45) and their life partners. Researchers interviewed 171 couples at different times during medical follow-up to understand emotional, social, and relationship challenges. The goal was to create a questionnaire that could help doctors better assess and support these couples.
