| Popis: | Little is known about breast cancer (BC) survivors’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) > 5 or even > 10 years past diagnosis. It is of interest whether, in the long run, survivors’ HRQoL aligns with that of the general population. Study objectives were to (1) compare disease-free BC survivors’ HRQoL to that of non-cancer controls, and (2) compare long-term survivors (LTS, 5–9 years post-diagnosis), very long-term survivors (VLTS, ≥ 10 years post-diagnosis), and controls with respect to their HRQoL. The samples of 2647 disease-free BC survivors (5–16 years post-diagnosis) and 1005 population controls were recruited in German multi-regional population-based studies. HRQoL was assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire—Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). Differences in HRQoL were assessed with multiple regression, controlling for age and education. Disease-free BC survivors |
