Breast Cancer Female
Conditions
Brief summary
The number of breast cancer survivors is growing. Women with a personal history of breast cancer worry about their risk of getting cancer again. The current study will develop counseling about breast cancer recurrence risk and will also get an estimate of the preliminary impact of this counseling. The goal is to enable women to make better decisions about their treatment.
