    Background:

    • Breast cancer diagnosis significantly impacts patients' psychological well-being.
    • Understanding long-term psychological effects is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To confirm previous findings on psychological responses at 5 years post-operation.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessment of psychological responses three months post-operatively.
    • Longitudinal follow-up of patients for 10 years after surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Psychological responses assessed three months post-operatively were significantly related to outcomes 10 years after surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Early psychological responses are predictive of long-term breast cancer outcomes.
    • Further investigation is needed to understand the specific psychological categories and mediating mechanisms involved.
