The objective of this qualitative focus group study was to investigate women's experiences related to adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) and managing AET-related symptoms.  The findings suggest multiple opportunities to better prepare patients for AET and to improve assessment and management of AET-related symptoms and so promote AET adherence in breast cancer survivors.
