Chemotherapy, physical and psychological needs of breast cancer Survivors

There are an estimated 1,384,155 new cases of breast cancer worldwide, leading to nearly 459,000 deaths related to the disease, making it one of the most frequent cancers in women. There is a wide range of pathological characteristics associated with breast cancer, some of which can show slow growth and a good prognosis, while others may be aggressive. One out of every eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer during the course of their life, according to the American Cancer Society. There is a prediction that by 2050 there will be approximately 3.2 million new cases of female breast cancer on the planet annually, according to studies carried out by the World Health Organization. Breast cancer Survivors face many challenges during the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery process. Medical professionals, nurses, therapists, counsellors, and psychologists take care of breast cancer Survivors. A growing number of studies have shown that molecular profiling of breast cancer will enable individualized treatment as well as an understanding of molecular differences among cases. Our paper examines breast cancer Survivors' complex physical and psychological needs, providing the holistic needs of the client. The needs of clients after breast cancer treatment extend well beyond resolving the disease itself, and the need to restore their health is essential. For healthcare providers to provide holistic care for breast cancer Survivors, they have to be aware of the complex issues involved during the patient's journey. In order to reduce the burden of breast cancer worldwide, epidemiological studies suggest addressing socioeconomic issues, from screening to advanced treatment. In conducting this review, we used a variety of sources, such as PubMed journal articles, books, and breast cancer organization websites
