Impact of Breast Cancer Treatments on Gonadal Function and Reproduction Health

摘要

This fifth and final year has been spent analyzing data and reporting on the multiple phases of the Cancer and Menopause Study (CAMS). The main results paper on the baseline CAMS data, 'Breast Cancer in Younger Women: Reproductive and Late Health Effects of Treatment,' was completed and accepted for publication by the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Two additional papers have been submitted to peer-reviewed journals for consideration, and a third has been accepted for publication. These papers include analyses on the relationship between cancer survivors' treatment experience and quality of life with (1) physical activity, (2) menopausal transition and symptoms and (3) cognitive function. Additional analyses are currently underway to examine more CAMS data, including investigation of bone density, fatigue, use of complementary and alternative medicines, biologic markers and body composition data, and their relationship to various facets of the cancer survivor experience.
