Background: The aim of this study was to identify the women's experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) after breast cancer.
Method: This is a qualitative descriptive study. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 11 women with breast cancer, all participants referred to the outpatient Oncology Clinic in IRAN. Data were analyzed using conventional content analysis approach.
Results: The results revealed the essential category of "pervasive violence" which was manifested through six subcategories: 1) psychological violence, 2) physical violence, 3) sexual violence, 4) economic violence, 5) controlling behaviors, and 6) neglect.
Conclusion: Women with breast cancer are more vulnerable to IPV and experience a wide range of IPV forms. Healthcare providers should monitor women with breast cancer in terms of IPV to prevent the consequences of IPV on the cancer treatment process.

Background: Prior studies of participants with breast and other obesity-associated cancers in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) showed worse mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes for individuals with a higher number of cardiometabolic risk factors at study entry. The purpose of this analysis is to compare the relationship between cardiometabolic abnormalities and mortality among women with and without cancer in the WHI.
Methods: Women with one of five early-stage obesity-associated cancers (breast, colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma) and controls without any new or prior history of cancer were selected from the WHI-Life and Longevity after Cancer ancillary study.
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women and poses a significant global health challenge due to its association with uncontrolled cell proliferation. Artificial intelligence (AI) integration into medical practice has shown promise in boosting diagnosis accuracy and treatment protocol optimisation, thus contributing to improved survival rates globally. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis utilizing the Wisconsin Breast Cancer dataset, comprising data from 569 patients and 30 attributes.

Purpose: This study analyzed the long-term effects of cancer on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of older breast cancer survivors for 10 years, including a control group to distinguish between the impacts of cancer treatment and aging.
Methods: The SEER-MHOS data resource was used in the analysis. Cases were 674 older women diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998-2015 at age 65 and older and participated in Medicare Health Outcomes Survey within 24 months before their cancer diagnosis and at least once within 10 years of post-diagnosis.
