OCBS = oncoplastic breast conserving surgery BCT = breast conserving therapy DCIS = ductal carcinoma in situ

participant population/health conditions

  • Patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, that can be treated breast conserving

Read the detailed description

The management of breast cancer has undergone a significant shift over the last century. The advances in systemic therapy have not only improved the overall prognosis however also allowed for less radical surgery and more breast conservable efforts. The term oncoplastic breast conserving surgery was first coined in the early 90s where breast cancer surgery was performed while incorporating plastic surgical techniques. Therefore, this enabled the preservation of the natural breast shape with good aesthetic outcomes. Over the years oncoplastic breast conserving surgery has become widely accepted and adopted into routine clinical practice by most breast cancer surgeons. The oncological safety surrounding oncoplastic breast conserving surgery have been well established. Rates of positive surgical margins and re-excision rates have been shown to be similar to traditional lumpectomy operations. Complication rates are also comparable and oncoplastic breast conserving surgery does not result in delays in adjuvant treatments. However, many surgeons would concur that the most significant benefit of oncoplastic breast conserving surgery (OBCS) is patient satisfaction and the potential improvement in their quality of life.

Patient reported outcomes (PROMs) allow us to objectively assess patient satisfaction and the impact the intervention has had onto their lives. Incorporating PROMs into daily clinical practice would not only facilitate shared-decision making but also allow us to tailor clinical management to suit individual patient needs. This study however also aims to assess the patient reported outcome after breast surgery and in the follow up time (after radiotherapy, ...).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change of patient satisfaction with their breasts pre- and post breast-conserving surgery

    To assess patient satisfaction using BREAST-Q over the duration of the breast cancer clinical management and follow up i.e., pre-, and postoperative: 4 weeks, 6 months and 1 year after the surgery.

    Measured: before the surgery and 4 weeks after the surgery

  2. Change of quality of Life pre- and post breast-conserving surgery

    To assess Quality of Life using BREAST-Q over the duration of the breast cancer clinical management and follow up i.e., pre-, and postoperative: 4 weeks, 6 months and 1 year after the surgery.

    Measured: before the surgery and 4 weeks after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. impact of age (>70 and < 60 years old) on Patient reported outcome measures

    To assess the impact of age (> 70 and < 60 years old) on patient reported outcome measures (validated questionnaire) after oncoplastic surgery, If age has an impact on patient satisfaction with their breasts pre and post surgery

    Measured: baseline and 4 weeks postoperative
