Quality of life in breast cancer patients and surgical results of immediate tissue expander/implant-based breast reconstruction after mastectomy

However, high acceptance rates suggest EIBR being a justifiable option even for this group. Prospective studies and long-term follow-up are required for definitive conclusions.
