About this study

In plain language

This study looks at sleep changes during breast cancer treatment and possible reasons for poor sleep. It also looks at how stress, support from others, and where people live affect sleep. It is for adults with stage I to III breast cancer that uses hormones to grow, after their main surgery but before chemotherapy or radiation starts.

This study is being done to learn more about breast cancer patients' experiences with sleep changes during cancer treatment, identify possible reasons for poor sleep quality, and to find out how stress, social support, and living environment affect sleep.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
