Primary Outcome

The arm subscale (ARM) of the FACT-B+4 is used to assess arm-related QoL.The FACT-B comprises five subscales: physical well-being (seven items), social well-being (seven items), emotional well-being (six items), functional well-being (seven items), and concerns specific to patients with breast cancer (13 items). The FACT-B+4 questionnaire consists of the FACT-B subscales and the additional ARM subscale including five questions related to arm morbidity with four additional validated arm morbidity
