Evaluating Body Image Disturbance and Its Influencing Factors in Breast Cancer Patients Following Unilateral Mastectomy.

Psychiatry Clin Psychopharmacol

December 2024

Department of Operating Room, the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Lishui Central Hospital, Lishui, China.

Background: Patients with unilateral breast loss after single mastectomy for breast cancer may have body image disorders such as surgical lymphedema, flap ischemia, and spinal deformity, resulting in negative emotions such as depression, inferiority, and social dysfunction. This study mainly investigated and analyzed the status quo and influencing factors of body image disorder in breast cancer patients after single mastectomy.

Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study.

Breast cancer is a significant cause of death from cancer in women globally, highlighting the need for improved diagnostic imaging to enhance patient outcomes. Accurate tumor identification is essential for diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring, emphasizing the importance of advanced imaging technologies that provide detailed views of tumor characteristics and disease. Recently, a new imaging modality named synthetic correlated diffusion imaging (CDI) has been showing promise for enhanced prostate cancer delineation when compared to existing MRI imaging modalities.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents an aggressive form of breast cancer with few available therapeutic options. Chemotherapy, particularly with drugs like doxorubicin (DOX), remains the cornerstone of treatment for this challenging subtype. However, the clinical utility of DOX is hampered by adverse effects that escalate with higher doses and drug resistance, underscoring the need for alternative therapies.

Oncolytic virotherapy has shown great promise in mediating targeted tumor destruction through tumor-selective replication and induction of anti-tumor immunity; however, obstacles remain for virus candidates to reach the clinic. These include avoiding neutralizing antibodies, preventing stimulation of the adaptive immune response during intravenous administration, and inducing sufficient apoptosis and immune activation so that the body's defense can work to eradicate systemic disease. We have developed a co-formulation of oncolytic viruses (OVs) with Imagent lipid-encapsulated, perfluorocarbon microbubbles (MBs) to protect the OVs from the innate and adaptive immune system.
