Quality of life and the effect on social status among Slovenian women after breast cancer treatmentGorišek, Borut ; Krajnc, Petra, zdravnica, 1978- ; Krajnc, Ivan, 1948-This study investigated whether the type of surgical procedure used to treat breast cancer (mastectomy versus breast-conserving lumpectomy) had any effect on the quality of life and social status of ... women. The prospective analysis included 382 women newly diagnosed with non-metastatic breast cancer who had undergone a surgical intervention for breast carcinoma at our institution: 198 patients had undergone mastectomy with axillary lymphadenectomy and 184 patients had undergone breast-conserving lumpectomy with local axillary lympha-denectomy. The post-mastectomy women reported significantly more financial problems, a lowered social status and more physical symptoms compared with the breast-conserving post-lumpectomy patients. The patients that underwent lumpectomy were more satisfied with their body image and their sexual life. Since the adverse financial effects of wage loss can significantly decrease a patient's quality of life, this study indicates that post-mastectomy patients in particular need to be protected more effectively against a decline in their social status.Source: Journal of international medical research. - ISSN 0300-0605 (Vol. 37, no. 2, Mar.-Apr. 2009, str. 557-566)Type of material - article, component part ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2009Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 3285311
