Loay Kassem: Breast saving surgery means better sexual well-being compared to mastectomy and reconstruction

Loay Kassem, Assistant Professor of Clinical Oncology at Kasr AlAiny School of Medicine, Cairo, shared an article by Carrie S. Stern, et al. on LinkedIn:

“Breast saving surgery means better sexual well-being compared to mastectomy and reconstruction.

In a large study of 15,857 patients, the 7347 women who had mastectomy and reconstruction scored 7.6 points lower than the 8510 who had Breast conservation at 1 year after surgery.

The findings of such study should be noted when counselling patients with early breast cancer about locoregional therapy options.”
