Objective Ten years after diagnosis, women diagnosed with breast cancer at age 50 or younger were assessed to determine whether quality of life (QOL) problems found at five years persisted. We predicted that QOL in the physical and social domains would be poorer, but improvements would be found in the psychological domain. Methods We re-interviewed 312 women, who had been interviewed at their five year anniversary and remained cancer free, on their QOL in three domains (physical, social, and psychological). Comparisons between their 5- and 10-year reports were performed using paired t-tests for numeric variables and McNemar's test for categorical variables.

Results The women's mean age was 55, 60% were college graduates, 79% had a partner, and 27% were non-Euro-American. Ten years after diagnosis they reported poorer general health (p
