Many Women with Early Stage Breast Cancer Experience Functional Decline
After Initiating Treatment

In a study of older women with newly diagnosed stage I to III breast
cancer, approximately one in five lost the ability to complete some of the
basic tasks necessary for independent living within one year of initiating
treatment. Within 12 months, 34 of the 184 patients developed functional
decline and seven died.
