Background: This study compared the change in pre- and postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery (BCS), total mastectomy no reconstruction (TMNR), immediate (MIBR). Patient factors associated with anxiety depression were also identified. Methods: prospective cohort enrolled between September 2017 August 2020. HRQoL changes from preoperative to six months using patient-reported outcome tools assessing anxiety,...
As rates of total mastectomy rise, the relationships between surgery modality with domains health-related quality life is not well understood. This study reports differences in depression, anxiety, pain, and health status among a cohort women scheduled to receive or breast-conserving surgery. Patient-reported outcomes measured preoperative patients receiving cross-sectional design. Regression analyses was used model adjust for patient demographics on measures. Participants were more likely...
Documenting negative margins at the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) during nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) remains standard, but how to achieve this and manage a positive margin is debated. We sought review nipple assessments our institution analyze risk factors of rate local recurrence.Patients who underwent NSM between 2012 2018 were reviewed divided into 3 groups based on indication - cancer, contralateral prophylactic (CPM) bilateral (BPM).Nipple-sparing mastectomies performed 337 patients;...
Quality Indicators (QIs), including the breast-conserving surgery (BCS) rate, were published by European and American Breast Cancer Societies this study assesses these in a Canadian population to look for opportunities de-escalate surgery. A total of 2311 patients having unilateral, unifocal breast cancer between 2013 2017 identified BCS QIs calculated. Reasons mastectomy had been prospectively collected with synoptic operative reporting. Our rate invasive < 3 cm was 77.1%, 2 84.1%, DCIS...

The homozygous CC polymorphism on intron 7 of TFPI (-33T-->C) associated with higher levels and a lower risk venous thromboembolism (VTE). present study the first to evaluate impact inherited disease-free survival (DFS) cancer patients following curative resection.
