The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of the sample and to verify the relationship between quality of life (QOL) in women diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) and their age, type or surgery and time since treatment; (2) Methods: a cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted with 183 women diagnosed with BC, aged 30\u201380 years in Mexico. Women\u2019s QOL was assessed using two questionnaires, The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life Core Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and The Breast Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ-BR23). (3) Results: the results show significant differences in several items when the variable age is taken into account, indicating that younger women have poorer social and sexual function, as well as poorer sexual enjoyment and lower expectations of the future. The type of surgery also indicates a significantly better QOL in those women who receive conservative treatment versus a mastectomy; the time elapsed since surgery does not show any significant results, except for sexual functioning and breast-related symptoms where &gt;5 years implies better scores on the items. (4) Conclusions: in conclusion, it is important to take into account the characteristics of women with BC, particularly at the time of treatment, in order to mitigate the impact of the disease on their QOL with the help of a multidisciplinary team.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph192316229","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,5]],"date-time":"2022-12-05T02:56:26Z","timestamp":1670208986000},"page":"16229","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Survivors in Relation to Age, Type of Surgery and Length of Time since First Treatment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Sergio","family":"Alvarez-Pardo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports, Isabel I University, 09003 Burgos, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2965-9979","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ena Monserrat","family":"Romero-P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biological Sciences and Health, University of Sonora, Hermosillo 83000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N\u00e9stor","family":"Camberos-Casta\u00f1eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biological Sciences and Health, University of Sonora, Hermosillo 83000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4389-1777","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Antonio","family":"de Paz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedicine (IBIOMED), University of Le\u00f3n, 24071 Le\u00f3n, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario Alberto","family":"Horta-Gim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biological Sciences and Health, University of Sonora, Hermosillo 83000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7298-9060","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jer\u00f3nimo J.","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Bernal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, University of Burgos, 09001 Burgos, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6554-4602","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan","family":"Mielgo-Ayuso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, University of Burgos, 09001 Burgos, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luc\u00eda","family":"Sim\u00f3n-Vicente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, University of Burgos, 09001 Burgos, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9937-7753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Solana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, University of Burgos, 09001 Burgos, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Josefa","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, University of Burgos, 09001 Burgos, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2022, September 22).
