Perceived communication between physicians and breast cancer patients as a predicting factor of patients' health‐related quality of life: a longitudinal analysis

Communication between cancer patients and healthcare providers is recognized as an important aspect of these patients' health‐related quality of life (HRQOL). Nevertheless, no study has examined whether perceived communication between physicians and breast cancer patients is a determining factor in their HRQOL along the disease's trajectory. This longitudinal study aimed to ascertain whether such communication influenced the HRQOL of such women at three points in time.
