“…The BT and BC survivors in this study are similar to those in other studies in terms of age, gender, disease severity, and treatment [10,[34][35][36][37][38]. The median time since diagnosis was just over 2 years with established impairments and functional disability.…”

Objective. To assess and identify patient-reported supportive care needs following definitive treatment in persons with breast cancer (BC) and primary brain tumours (gliomas) (BT) in an Australian community cohort and to assess the commonalities and/or discrepancies of the reported needs in these oncological populations. Methods. A prospective cross-sectional survey of persons with BC ( = 85) and BT ( = 106) using questionnaires for supportive care needs, psychological morbidity, and quality of life. Results. BT participants were younger than BC patients (mean ages 51 and 57 years). The median time since diagnosis for both groups was over 2 years. The level of psychological morbidity, mainly depression, was high in both groups: BC (22%) and BT (20%). Participants in both groups reported at least one need ("met" or "unmet"). The BC patients reported higher numbers of "needs" and "unmet" needs compared with BT patients (mean 13.7 versus 11.6 needs; "unmet" needs mean 6.0 versus 4.1). The common "met" and "unmet" needs highlighted by both groups were comparable; the domain for most "met" needs included comprehensive cancer care, while "unmet" needs related to existential survivorship issues. Conclusion. Despite successful treatment many cancer survivors experience unmet supportive care needs in longer term. Understanding the impact of these beyond the acute phase is important as care shifts to community settings. More research in existential survivorship issues is needed.

“…Clayforth and et al found that small tumor size contributed to survival rate (Clayforth et al, 2007). Treatment with lumpectomy surgery was also associated with the better survival which was similar with result of fouladi's study (Fouladi et al, 2011).…”

“…(Najafi et al, 2013) Also, patients who hadn't lymph node involvement significantly associated with high survival rate and the mortality rate were lower in them. Lack of lymph node involvement was suggested as a prognostic factor for breast cancer in the similar studies (Thomson et al, 2004;Thomson et al, 2004;Webb et al, 2004;Clayforth et al, 2007). The findings showed that patients who had a tumor in left breast had the better survival rate than right breast.…”

“…There was consistent evidence that larger tumour size >20 mm was associated with greater mortality (Clayforth et al, ; Craft et al, ; Lim et al, ; Roder, Silva et al, ; Roder et al, ). This was universal when comparing tumours <20 mm to tumours >20 mm with increasing risk of mortality with increasing tumour size (Craft et al, ; Roder, Silva et al, ; Roder et al, ).…”

“…There is convincing evidence in these Australian studies for increased breast cancer mortality for patient undergoing mastectomy compared to breast‐conserving surgery (Clayforth et al, ; Hall et al, ; Spilsbury et al, ; Supramaniam et al, ). Nonetheless, having no surgery is the highest risk factor for breast cancer mortality (Supramaniam et al, ).…”

Factors influencing breast cancer outcomes in Australia: A systematic review

Purpose This systematic review evaluates factors influencing breast cancer outcomes for women treated in Australia, facilitating the exploration of disparities in breast cancer outcomes for certain groups of women in Australia. Method A systematic literature search was performed using MEDLINE and Scopus focusing on breast cancer in Australia with outcome measures being breast cancer survival and recurrence with no restrictions on date. Risk of bias was assessed using Cairns Assessment Scale for Observational studies of Risk factors (CASOR). Results Fifteen quantitative studies were included: two were high quality, 11 were intermediate quality, and two were low quality. Traditional risk factors such as invasive tumour type, larger size, higher grade and stage, lymph node involvement and absence of hormone receptors were found to be associated with breast cancer mortality. Being younger (<40 years old) and older (>70 years old), having more comorbidities, being of lower socioeconomic status, identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, living in more rural areas or having a mastectomy were factors found to be associated with poorer breast cancer outcomes. Conclusion Despite the heterogeneity of the studies, this review identified significant risk factors for breast cancer mortality and recurrence. The use of this data would be most useful in developing evidence‐based interventions and in optimising patient care through creation of a prediction model. PROSPERO registration CRD42017072857.
