Abstract
- 526 Background: Young age at diagnosis (dx) is a predictor of worse prognosis in patients (pts) with luminal breast cancer (BC). Poorer adherence to endocrine therapy (ET) among younger women may contribute to this disparity. Aim: To assess non-adherent behaviors and associated factors among young women with stage 1-3 hormone receptor (HR)+ BC taking ET. Methods: This study is a part of a multi-center, prospective cohort of pts with dx of BC at or under age 40. On a survey 30 months after dx, among pts reporting taking ET, adherence was measured using a 3-item Likert-type scale (Do you ever forget to take your ET? If you feel worse when you take your ET, do you stop taking it? Did you take your ET exactly as directed by your doctor?). Pts reporting any non-adherent behavior during the last 3 months were classified as non-adherers. Variables with a p-value
