Stopped early · Not applicable

In brief

This pilot clinical trial studies questionnaires in identifying arms, shoulder, and neck (upper extremity) function and quality of life after treatment in patients with breast cancer. Patients may experience arms, shoulder, and neck impairments that negatively affect their functioning and quality of life after cancer-related treatment. Studying upper extremity function and quality of life in patients after breast cancer treatment may help doctors determine the prevalence and severity of long-term functional impairments and the relationship between the perception of impairments due to breast cancer treatment and its' impact on quality of life.

You may qualify if…

• All patients with a history of breast cancer surgery either lumpectomy, mastectomy, axillary node dissection or sentinel node biopsy at least one year ago and received either radiation therapy or chemotherapy or both
• Patients with no active disease; (as defined as no detectable disease)
• Patients with stable metastatic disease which is defined as (metastatic tumor demonstrates no increase in volume, tumor size or diameter and no evidence of new lesions, have been identified during last assessment by medical oncologist/radiologist or surgeons)
• Signed informed consent

You may not qualify if…

• Patients with known cognitive impairments
• Individuals with progressive metastatic disease in which the tumor has increased in size, volume and diameter or evidence of new lesions, as noted by medical oncologists, radiologists and surgeons
• individuals who are non-ambulatory
• Women who self-report to be pregnant
• As this is an observational study, we will not be performing a pregnancy test, participants will be asked if they are or are not pregnant
