Improving Outcomes for Breast Cancer Survivors Perspectives on Research Challenges and Opportunities / edited by Patricia A. Ganz.

• Introduction: Breast Cancer Survivorship Research- Where are we today? -- Special Issues in Younger Women -- Special Issues in Older Women -- Breast Cancer Among Special Populations: Disparities in Care Across the Cancer Control Continuum -- Symptoms: Fatigue and Cognitive Dysfunction -- Symptoms: Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy -- Symptoms: Aromatase Inhibitor Induced Arthralgias -- Symptoms: Lymphedema -- Symptoms: Menopause, Infertility and Sexual Health -- Host Factors and Risk of Breast Cancer Recurrence:  Genetic, epigenetic and biologic factors and breast cancer outcomes -- Comorbidities and their Management:  Potential Impact on Breast Cancer Outcomes -- Modifiable Lifestyle Factors and Breast Cancer Outcomes: Current Controversies and Research Recommendations -- Risk reduction from Weight management and physical activity interventions -- Prevention and Treatment of Cardiac Dysfunction in Breast Cancer Survivors -- Psychological Adjustment in Breast Cancer Survivors -- Living with metastatic breast cancer -- Quality of care, including survivorship care plans.

• In collaboration with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), this timely volume provides a comprehensive review on all areas of breast cancer survivorship research, highlighting research that is underway or in development. The range of topics covered include the biology and management of fatigue and cognitive dysfunction on breast cancer survivorship, the biology and management of Neuropathy and Arthralgias, the ongoing research on the biology of diet and lifestyle interventions in survivors, and more. With the tremendous growth in the number of breast cancer survivors, researchers have moved beyond describing the outcomes of breast cancer treatments and are focusing their research on understanding the mechanisms underlying the development of the late effects of breast cancer treatment, as well as the development and evaluation of interventions to mitigate some of the persistent symptoms—topics which are also explored in this volume. In addition, current research on how to improve survivorship and reduce recurrence of breast cancer through behavioral and lifestyle modifications is also discussed.
