Lopes-Conceição, L; Peleteiro, B; Araújo, N; Dias, T; Fontes, F; Pereira, S; Lunet, NBackground Although human-animal interactions (HAI) have been associated with health benefits, they have not been extensively studied among cancer patients nor which factors may influence HAI during cancer survivorship. Therefore, this study aims to describe pet ownership in a breast cancer cohort within 5 years post-diagnosis and to identify associated factors. Methods Four hundred sixty-six patients from the ...

Araújo, N; Lopes-Conceição, L; Morais, S; Fontes, F; Dias, T; Cruz, VT; Ruano, L; Pereira, S; Lunet, NPurpose: The cognitive performance of patients with breast cancer (BCa) may be affected by cancer and its treatments. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a widely used cognitive impairment screening tool, but practice effects must be considered for longitudinal assessments. Since learning effects could be overcome through the alternate use of two versions of the MoCA, we aimed to explore their interchan...

Lopes-Conceição, L; Brandão, M; Araújo, N; Severo, M; Dias, T; Peleteiro, B; Fontes, F; Pereira, S; Lunet, NBackground We aimed to identify and characterize quality of life trajectories up to 3 years after breast cancer diagnosis. Methods A total of 460 patients were evaluated at baseline (before treatments), and after 1- and 3-years. Patient-reported outcomes, including quality of life (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30, QLQ-C30), anxiety, depression and...

Morais, S; Costa, AR; Lopes-Conceicao, L; Brandao, M; Borges, M; Araujo, N; Dias, T; Fontes, F; Pereira, S; Lunet, NBackground/Aim: To quantify the association between a previous cancer diagnosis and healthcare use among breast cancer (BC) patients, and estimate five-year recurrence-free survival (RFS). Patients and Methods: Women with BC were classified according to a previous cancer diagnosis (BC or other). Healthcare use during the first year and five-year RFS were obtained through clinical and administrative records. Adj...
