A cost-consequence analysis of adding pertuzumab to the neoadjuvant combination therapy in HER2-positive high-risk early breast cancer in Italy
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggested that TPC combination could be a cost-saving option in patients with HER2+BC at high-risk of recurrence.PMID:37573652 | PMC:PMC10428118 | DOI:10.1016/j.breast.2023.08.005 (Source: Breast)

Patient-reported health-related quality of life outcomes following mastectomy for breast cancer, with immediate, delayed or no breast reconstruction: Four-year follow-up from a prospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: Similar trajectories of HRQOL scores were found in women with high-risk breast cancer who were offered a choice of BR. Informed choice may be an independent contributing factor in long-term maintenance of most HRQOL indicators at their pre-mastectomy levels.PMID:37573653 | PMC:PMC10428140 | DOI:10.1016/j.breast.2023.08.001 (Source: Breast)
