This study identified core components of the impact CTRCD has on the QoL of BC patients. Patients experienced an increased health-related burden due to CTRCD, affecting their physical, social, and psychosocial well-being. Healthcare experiences were largely affected by a lack of acknowledgement and professional communication. Patients underlined the need for personalized care during follow-up.
