Description

Early View

Breast cancer is an important public health problem that is increasing in incidence, being a stressor with a negative impact on women's quality of life. This study is focused on the evaluation of temporal precursors (one month before) of women's quality of life undergoing chemotherapy, considering post-surgical personal, clinical, cognitive and neuropsychophysiological factors, according to the Transactional Stress and Coping Model.
