Trends of Mastectomy and Breast-Conserving Surgery and Related Factors in Female Breast Cancer Patients Treated at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 2009-2017: a Retrospective Cohort Study

ConclusionMastectomy has a much higher prevalence than BCS in our study mainly due to advanced tumor stage at the time of diagnosis. This emphasizes the urgent need for early detection of breast cancer to move towards BCS, with education and increasing awareness of breast cancer and the surgical options, especially that it is more common in a significantly younger population in our area.
