Abstract
Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer occurring during pregnancy. With delayed childbirth, pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) incidence is expected to increase. It can be challenging for mothers undergoing cancer treatment and coping with disease progression to focus on parenting. The child may be affected by the mother's ongoing treatment both prenatally and postnatally. This study aims to investigate the biopsychosocial development of children born to patients with PABC, the emotional stress of patients.
Methods: This ambispective cohort study combines a retrospective analysis of previously collected data from January 2019 to December 2029 with the prospective recruitment and follow-up of new patients. Patients diagnosed with PABC within the past 5 years will be recruited from hospitals and patient associations. Recruitment and follow-up will occur from July 1, 2024, to December 31, 2029, with 80 participants targeted for both the subject and control groups.
Discussion: This study aims to provide long-term insights into the biopsychological development of children born to PABC patients, as well as the emotional states and QoL. The findings are expected to optimize biopsychosocial development, enhance family well-being, and guide breast cancer patients in making informed pregnancy decisions.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Breast Cancer (abbreviated as ''J Breast Cancer'') is the official journal of the Korean Breast Cancer Society, which is issued quarterly in the last day of March, June, September, and December each year since 1998. All the contents of the Journal is available online at the official journal website (http://ejbc.kr) under open access policy. The journal aims to provide a forum for the academic communication between medical doctors, basic science researchers, and health care professionals to be interested in breast cancer. To get this aim, we publish original investigations, review articles, brief communications including case reports, editorial opinions on the topics of importance to breast cancer, and welcome new research findings and epidemiological studies, especially when they contain a regional data to grab the international reader''s interest. Although the journal is mainly dealing with the issues of breast cancer, rare cases among benign breast diseases or evidence-based scientifically written articles providing useful information for clinical practice can be published as well.
