UNICANCER: French prospective cohort study of treatment-related chronic toxicity in women with localised breast cancer (CANTO).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Corresponding with improved survival among patients with breast cancer, the awareness of the long-term effects of cancer treatments has increased. CANcer TOxicities (CANTO) aims to identify predictors of development and persistence of long-term toxicities in patients treated for stages I-III breast cancer and to characterise their incidence, as well their impact. In this paper, we describe the methodology used in this study and provide a first characterisation of the study population.

Methods

CANTO (NCT01993498) is a French prospective, longitudinal cohort study enrolling patients with invasive cT0-cT3cN0-3M0 breast cancer of 26 French cancer centres. Patients are assessed at diagnosis, 3-6 (M0), 12 (M12), 36 (M36) and 60 (M60) months after completion of primary s
