The purpose of this study was to clarify what kind of support needs was felt by the breast cancer patients treated with breast-conserving therapy during the perioperative period. The survey was conducted for 13 patients primarily with a semi-structured format and an interview in order to examine the support and needs they pursued. The result of the survey showed that there were 7 categories before the operation, 5 ones after it, and 5 ones after the discharge. The breast cancer patients pondered over their operative procedures they chose throughout the perioperative period. It was also clarified that the contraction of the disease made them interested in their own bodies and they tried to combine their physical conditions with preventive actions. It is necessary for the nurse to understand what the patients think and to support it continuously. It is also necessary for the patients to look back on their old way of life and to find out a new lifestyle so that they may take preventive actions for the health. Therefore the nurse should offer information the patients want to get and support them continuously.
