Observational Study on Skin Changes with Aromatase Inhibitor Therapy
This observational study is looking at how aromatase inhibitor therapy, a common breast cancer treatment, affects skin quality and self-esteem in women who have had breast cancer. Researchers will use special imaging technology (Canfield Sciences VISIA-CA) and facial photographs to measure changes in your skin. They will also ask you to complete surveys about your self-esteem and how skin changes affect your daily life. The study aims to see if skincare advice from an aesthetician can improve skin quality and how you feel about yourself. This study is for postmenopausal women (ages 18 and older) with certain types of breast cancer (stages 0-III) that are estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) positive. The study plans to enroll 35 participants and will measure changes in skin quality for up to 6 months.
