Summary

This study looks at how different breast cancer treatment decisions, like choosing between a lumpectomy or mastectomy, affect women's quality of life and emotional distress. Researchers followed 345 women with early-stage breast cancer and their partners to measure cancer-related distress and satisfaction with their treatment choice. The goal is to help future patients make more informed decisions that support their mental health.
