- Burden of illness in cancer survivors: findings from a population-based national sample. (2004, result): “For example, in a study of disease-free women 5 years after an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis, initial systemic treatment was associated with decrements in physical functioning, bodily pain, social functioning, and general health compared with similar women without systemic treatment ( 61 ).”
- It's Not over When it's Over: Long-Term Symptoms in Cancer Survivors—A Systematic Review (2010, background): “, vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, decreased sexual desire) from the end of treatment to more than 5 years post-treatment [23, 24, 31, 47, 48], with one exception [11].”
- Physical and psychological long‐term and late effects of cancer (2008, background): “after diagnosis, most women continued to function well.(17) Energy levels remained unchanged, while sexual activity declined over time.”
- Cancer treatment and survivorship statistics, 2012 (2012, background): “The majority of long-term, disease-free cancer survivors (5 years or more) report a quality of life comparable to those with no history of cancer.(148) However, more invasive and aggressive treatment regimens tend to be associated with poorer functioning in the long term.”
- Fatigue in long‐term breast carcinoma survivors (2006, background): “As reported by Ganz et al.,20 there was no change in mean vitality scores noted from Time 1 (mean, 61.4; standard deviation [SD] of 20.4) to Time 2 (mean, 60.9; SD of 20.9).”

- From cancer patient to cancer survivor : lost in transition (2006, background): “Other survivorship research has relied on hospital cancer registries to identify cohorts of individuals to follow prospectively (Pakilit et al., 2001; Ganz et al., 2002, 2003a).”
