PROJECT NAME: Breast cancer in young women in France: living conditions after the disease and identification of sexuality profiles and fertility profiles
The European Union is co-funding a project to study the post-cancer living conditions (fertility, sexuality, return to work, quality of life, etc.) of young women diagnosed with breast cancer in France. This project also aims to identify the needs considered a priority by young women in improving the care and experience of the disease from diagnosis to post-cancer. This national research project is being carried out in collaboration with the registries of the French network of cancer registries (FRANCIM).
