Abstract
Background: Postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) improves disease-free survival in breast cancer but reduces aesthetic satisfaction. Proton PMRT has gained popularity due to fewer systemic complications. There is a lack of data regarding revision surgeries for pre-pectoral implant-based breast reconstruction (PP-IBBR) following radiation.
Objectives: To compare the revision surgeries in PP-IBBR with photon versus proton PMRT.
Methods: A single-institution retrospective cohort study included breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy and PP-IBBR with PMRT (January 2020-October 2022) The mean follow-up duration for the cohort was 1056.4 days (2.89 years). Revision surgeries evaluated were fat grafting, conversion to autologous flaps, implant replacement, implant removal, capsulectomy, and scar revision.
Results: 116 PP-IBBR were divided into two cohorts: photon (75, 64.66%) and proton (41, 35.34%) radiation cohorts. Overall corrective surgeries were higher with photon (27.5% overall; 32.4% photon vs 19.5% proton, p=0.132). The odds of any revision surgery were nearly double with photon (OR=1.98), and the conversion to an autologous flap was significantly more likely with photon (OR=4.55, p=0.025). Multivariable analysis showed an increased tendency for photon therapy patients to require any revision surgeries (OR=1.62, p=0.359), autologous flaps (OR=5.97, p=0.049), fat grafting (OR=1.52, p=0.664) and scar revision (OR=4.51, p=0.273).
Conclusions: Compared to proton therapy, traditional photon therapy has a higher conversion rate to autologous flaps with PP-IBBR. Photon therapy had higher rates of overall revision surgeries, however not statistically significant. Proton therapy is safer, with fewer revision surgeries, warranting larger studies and broader utilization.
期刊介绍:
Aesthetic Surgery Journal is a peer-reviewed international journal focusing on scientific developments and clinical techniques in aesthetic surgery. The official publication of The Aesthetic Society, ASJ is also the official English-language journal of many major international societies of plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery representing South America, Central America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. It is also the official journal of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, the Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and The Rhinoplasty Society.
