Read our Breast Neoplasms research guide →This is a research study that looks at how couples—a woman with breast cancer and her partner—work together to handle the challenges of diagnosis and treatment. Researchers will check in with you both over 24 months using questionnaires and group discussions to learn what coping strategies help couples stay resilient and maintain their quality of life during this difficult time.
Very little research focuses on how couples as a team handle breast cancer. Understanding what strategies help partners support each other—and how both people's emotional well-being changes over time—can help doctors and counselors better support families going through this journey.

You and your partner will be asked to complete questionnaires and participate in interviews or focus group discussions at different points over the next two years—starting from your diagnosis and continuing through 24 months. The research team will ask you both about how you're coping, your quality of life, and how you support each other through treatment. This helps researchers understand what works for couples facing breast cancer.
