The goal of this self-initiated questionnaire-based follow-up clinical trial is to map the body image and physical activity of Hungarian women treated for breast cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How body image changes during different treatments among women treated for breast cancer? 2. How is physical activity among Hungarian women treated for breast cancer?
The aim of our research is to assess the changes in physical activity and body image of women with breast cancer and the impact of these changes on their quality of life using subjective measures, through cross-sectional research and validation of the Body Image After Breast Cancer questionnaire in Hungarian.
