January 2026 in “The Breast Journal” This study examined symptom clusters in 87 Brazilian women with Stage I and Stage III nonmetastatic breast cancer, using the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale. Stage I patients frequently experienced pain, worrying, difficulty sleeping, and fatigue, while Stage III patients reported pain, fatigue, worrying, and dry mouth. Stage I patients had higher prevalence of difficulty concentrating, shortness of breath, feeling sad, and hair loss compared to Stage III.
