Studies have shown that 30% of breast cancer patients with liver metastases show varying degrees of anxiety and depression, and their quality of life is significantly lower than that of the normal population. Multidisciplinary collaborative continuous care can improve the prognosis of breast cancer treatment to a certain extent and is the key to meeting the needs of cancer patients. Materials and Methods. The clinical data of 96 patients with liver metastases from breast cancer were selected as the study subjects and divided into a comparison group and an observation group of 48 cases each according to a random number table. Among them, the comparison group implemented evidence-based nursing (EBN) and the observation group implemented multidisciplinary collaborative extended care based on the comparison group. The effects of psychological status, quality of life, self-care ability, and sleep quality were compared between the two groups before and after nursing care. Results.
