The favorable prognosis for early stage breast cancer survivors may be a reason for the minimal research regarding their quality of life. Prior research has observed more long-term weight gain among early stage survivors compared to cancer-free women of a similar age. It would be useful to study survivors' perceptions and reported behaviors regarding diet and exercise to see if there is a correlation with previous studies.
