Background: Women with pathogenic variants (PV) of the genes BRCA1/2 have a choice of preventive options. To help these women decide for themselves, we developed and implemented a decision coaching (DC) program and evaluated it for congruence between the participants' desired and actual roles in decision-making.

Methods: Healthy BRCA1/2 PV carriers (25-60 years of age) were recruited at six centers in Germany.

Aim: Quality of life and patient satisfaction after subpectoral breast reconstruction with meshes or acellular dermal matrices (ADM) and implants were assessed using the BreastQ questionnaire to investigate a potential influence of the materials on these parameters.

Patients And Methods: The BreastQ questionnaire was completed by 121 patients, who had received material-assisted, heterologous, subpectoral breast reconstruction between 2010 and 2018.

Results: Answers were similar independent of the reconstruction materials used.
