What is Young Women With Breast Cancer in Mexico: Results of the Pilot Phase of the Joven & Fuerte Prospective Cohort about?
## PURPOSE The pilot-phase report of the Joven & Fuerte prospective cohort broadly characterizes and assesses the needs of Mexican young women with breast cancer (YWBC). ## PATIENTS AND METHODS Women age ≤ 40 years with nonmetastatic primary breast cancer were consecutively accrued from 2 hospitals. Data were collected at the first/baseline oncology visit and 2 years later using a sociodemographic survey, European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life (QOL) Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and Breast Cancer–Specific QOL Questionnaire (QLQ-BR23), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Female Sexual Functioning Index (FSFI), Sexual Satisfaction Inventory, and patients’ medical records. Pearson χ^2^ and 2-sided __t__ tests were used for statistical analysis. An unadjusted __P__ value 12 months later. At baseline, 66% of patients were overweight/obese, and this proportion had significantly increased by 2 years (__P__ < .001). Compared with baseline, global QLQ-C30 had improved significantly by 2 years (__P__ = .004), as had HADS-Anxiety (__P__ < .001). However, both at baseline and at 2 years, nearly half of patients exhibited FSFI sexual dysfunction
