Abstract

Introduction: Young women with breast cancer (YWBC) have unique needs compared to their older-age counterparts, due to life-stage at diagnosis; often yet to start a family, responsible for young children, and/or in the midst of career progression. Interventions to address this are limited. We aimed to understand the unmet needs of YWBC in order to develop a tailored self-management tool (SMT) to improve YWBC's experience and psychosocial-sexual wellbeing, long-term.
