Determinants of Weight Gain During Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy and Association of Such Weight Gain With Recurrence in Long-term Breast Cancer Survivors
2018, Clinical Breast CancerCitation Excerpt :Although mastectomy did show an association with weight gain on univariate analysis, such an association did not hold in the multivariable analysis. Studies of younger BC patients who underwent mastectomy compared with older patients found that the younger women tended to have a worse body image.48-55 Others have shown that undergoing mastectomy might have an effect on appearance and satisfaction.54,56-61
Quality of life in women undergoing breast irradiation in a randomized, controlled clinical trial evaluating different tumor bed boost fractionations
2016, International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology PhysicsCitation Excerpt :Quality of life is particularly important in the treatment of breast cancer because the management of breast cancer can have important effects on a woman's self-image and self-esteem. This is even more pertinent in younger women who are more likely to report negative effects of breast cancer and its treatment on QOL measures (26). Breast-conserving therapy has improved outcomes in body image and sexual functioning in the short term, and overall QOL and social functioning in the longer term when compared with mastectomy (1, 2, 27, 28).
Health related quality of life improvement in breast cancer patients: Secondary outcome from a simple blinded, randomised clinical trial
2015, BreastCitation Excerpt :This paper was developed within a randomised controlled trial of a Physiotherapy intervention combined with a Therapeutic Education program versus the Therapeutic Education program alone, to minimise the onset of lymphoedema after axillary lymph-node dissection for breast cancer therapy. In this study, the average age of participants, around 53 years old, was similar to other breast cancer QoL studies where ages were from 44 to 60 [17,19,54,55]. Regarding surgery type and chemo and radiotherapy treatments, clinical data are representative of what occurs with breast cancer patients in developed countries and similar to those for other studies [17,39,54].
