Patient-centered Communication About Healthy Weight in Early Breast Cancer

Comorbidities in breast cancer survival account for 49% of overall survival difference between black and white women. Many obesity-related comorbidities disproportionately affect black women, therefore pointing to a need to address obesity related comorbidities in survival disparities in early breast cancer patients. This study tinvestigates how messages and messaging about healthy weight can be tailored for racially diverse breast cancer survivors with obesity in order to ensure that clinic-based communications between patients and their oncology provider are patient-centered and culturally sensitive.
