Supportive care needs and quality of life in patients with breast and gynecological cancer attending inpatient rehabilitation. A prospective study.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to show that meeting breast and gynecological cancer patients' supportive care needs during inpatient rehabilitation resulted in improved QoL. Given the considerable proportions of patients still reporting unmet needs at the end of their stay, stronger and continuing efforts seem warranted to meet these needs and thus further increase QoL.
