Background: The study investigated the expectations of patients undergoing immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy, considering factors such as the cause for mastectomy (cancer versus prophylactic due or gene mutations), age, marital status, and education.
Methods: The study had a cross-sectional design. Eligible patients at Oslo University Hospital received a link to the BREAST-Q Expectations questionnaire, which they filled out before surgery from 2019 to 2022.
Article Synopsis
- Phyllodes tumors of the breast are uncommon and classified into benign, borderline, or malignant types, with a lack of clear guidelines for treatment and follow-up.
- A survey of 419 surgeons and oncologists showed a preference for tumor-free excision margins, increased margins for worse classifications, and minimal consideration for axillary surgery, but opinions on adjuvant treatment varied.
- The findings highlight significant differences in management practices, indicating a need for education and research on treatment strategies and the establishment of guidelines for these tumors.
