Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged over 18 with histologically confirmed, non-metastatic, unilateral invasive breast cancer scheduled for surgery, ECOG performance status <2, who speak French and can complete questionnaires are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with metastatic or bilateral breast cancer, a recent other cancer within five years, active serious illness, progressive psychiatric disease, legal protection/deprivation of liberty, or those unable to complete follow-up or questionnaires are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This is an observational study following women with histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer who are scheduled for surgery to compare quality-of-life outcomes according to their access to supportive oncological care inside or outside the treatment center. Participants complete validated quality-of-life questionnaires at defined points during their care pathway to capture physical, emotional, and social wellbeing. Researchers will compare questionnaire results between patients with differing levels or timing of supportive care to identify associations. The study is conducted at participating French hospitals and requires participants to speak French and be able to complete written questionnaires.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could encourage wider provision or better timing of supportive oncology services to improve postoperative recovery and overall wellbeing for breast cancer patients.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies of psycho-social and supportive oncology interventions in breast cancer populations have reported improvements in quality of life, so this approach builds on existing evidence rather than being entirely novel.
