Aim
Do patient-reported outcome measures differ among clinical T4 patients undergoing mastectomy with and without reconstruction?
Findings
Neither reconstruction nor timing of reconstruction were associated with superior outcomes for breast satisfaction, physical well-being of the chest, or psychosocial well-being at any timepoint.
Funding
The preparation of this study was supported in part by NIH/NCI Cancer Center Support Grant No. P30 CA008748 to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
