Abstract
AimsTo discover satisfaction with treatment decision and the late influences of surgery for early breast cancer on the lives and self-perceptions of women.MethodsA two-part mail survey was returned by 90 women aged 2.8–7.6 years after breast-conserving treatment (BCT) and by 56 women aged 3.0–8.0 years after modified radical mastectomy (MRM).ResultsApproximately one-third of all patients felt the information and time before the treatment decision was inadequate. Most women in both treatment groups had participated in treatment decision-making. When the surgeon alone had made the choice it did not affect satisfaction with the treatment result. Few patients regretted the treatment modality chosen. The majority of patients felt no discomfort in their treated breast, but a quarter of all the women suffered from rib pain. Fifteen of 52 sexually active women reported of reduced breast pleasure sensation in their resected breast. The women in both treatment groups were asked to score a summary satisfaction index (SSI) on a scale of 0–10 for seven different areas of life: cosmesis, function, work, home, recreation/sports, social life and sexuality. SSI was used as a measure of quality of life. There was a difference in all these categories between BCT and MRM groups, the former giving significantly higher values. Post-menopausal women tended to be more satisfied than younger women and women over 70 years showed no difference in satisfaction between the two treatment modalities. Treatment of early breast cancer caused little morbidity in the long run. After MRM slightly more local symptoms were reported.ConclusionsMost women treated with breast-conserving surgery esteemed their life normal or close to normal, giving us a reason to favour BCT when suitable. For women over 70 years old mastectomy remains a viable alternative.
