Abstract

Introduction: Breast conserving surgery (BCS) followed by radiotherapy (BCT) and Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) are the most common surgical techniques utilized in treatment of early breast cancer (EBC) with similar overall survival and recurrence rates. Western literature suggests that these treatments impact the quality of life (QOL) of patients variably. There are no comparison studies on these treatments as per patient’s QOL in East Africa. The objectives were to compare the QOL of patients with EBC at least one year after BCT or MRM and assess the factors that affect this QOL.
早期乳腺癌保乳手术与改良根治性乳房切除术后一年患者的生活质量:肯尼亚三级医院的五年回顾
简介:保乳手术(BCS)加放疗(BCT)和改良根治性乳房切除术(MRM)是治疗早期乳腺癌(EBC)最常用的手术技术,其总生存率和复发率相似。西方文献表明,这些治疗对患者生活质量(QOL)的影响是不同的。目前还没有针对东非患者生活质量的这些治疗方法的比较研究。目的是比较BCT或MRM后至少一年EBC患者的生活质量,并评估影响其生活质量的因素。
