Patient-Reported Outcome Measures for Patients Who Have Clinical T4 Breast Cancer Treated via Mastectomy with and Without Reconstruction

In the DR cohort, SATBR significantly improved after reconstructive surgery. These data can help inform breast reconstructive decision-making for patients facing the choice among DR, IR, and NR.PMID:36149609 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-022-12560-7
