Behavioral symptoms in breast cancer (BC) survivors have been attributed to cancer treatment and resulting inflammation. However, studies linking behavioral symptoms to BC treatment have observed patients only after some treatment. Our prospective study with pre-treatment baseline investigates post-treatment changes in inflammation-related biomarkers and whether those changes correlate with changes in symptoms.
