Patient expectations have been shown to influence postoperative outcomes across surgical specialties. However, the impact of expectations in breast reconstruction is not well understood. The purpose of this project is to perform the first large-scale analysis and classification of BREAST-Q Expectations responses in patients undergoing implant-based reconstruction.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical value of Clinical Treatment Score Post-5 Years (CTS5) to predict the survival benefits of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) of patients with T1-2N1 luminal breast cancer (BC).
Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with T1-2N1 luminal BC between 2010 and 2015 were included in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The chi-square test, binomial logistic regression, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and multivariable Cox proportional hazard model were used for statistical analyses.

Breast cancer is among the most common cancers diagnosed in women, affecting one in eight women per year. Immediate implant-based breast reconstruction has emerged as the predominant approach for postmastectomy reconstruction, with a growing preference for the direct-to-implant (DTI) method over the traditional tissue expander technique. While conventionally, implants were typically positioned beneath the pectoralis major muscle, recent advancements have paved the way for implant placement above the muscle, in the prepectoral plane.

Purpose: Patients with a mental health disorder (MHD) have higher age-adjusted mortality compared with the general population. Few reports investigate factors contributing to MHD among patients with breast cancer receiving radiation therapy. We report the incidence of acquired MHD after the diagnosis of breast cancer and treatment with radiation therapy.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates risk factors and dosimetry characteristics linked to capsular contracture in women who had breast cancer and underwent reconstructive surgery with post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT).
- A retrospective analysis of 118 women revealed that 22.9% experienced significant capsular contracture (Baker III-IV) after a median follow-up of 22 months, with an overall incidence of 47.5% for all levels of capsular contracture.
- Key findings indicate that postoperative complications and regional nodal involvement increased the risk of capsular contracture, while dosimetric factors and implant position did not show any significant association.
