Influence of immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy on postoperative survival

Abstract

To compare over survival(OS),recurrence free survival(RFS) of 5 years and survival quality between patients with immediate breast reconstruction and patients without breast reconstruction after mastectomy. From January 2009 to December 2010,156 patients were diagnosed as breast cancer. Among them,56 patients, aged 30-55 years old, were treated with mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction as rec onstruction group.100 patients, aged 30-55 years old, were treated with mastectomy without breast reconstruction as control group. The last follow-up time was June 2015.Patients' age, pathological type, clinical stage, lymph node metastasis were analyzed retrospectively. RFS and OS of 5 years and survival was compared by Kaplan Meier method. Survival quality of 1 year and 2 years after operation was compared between them. Pathologic classification, clinical staging, sentinel lymph node positive rate, axillary lymph node positive rate and triple negative breast cancer had no difference between two groups(P ＞0.05).The median follow-up time was 56.3±13.7 (23-78) and 57.9 ± 14.1(27-78) months in the reconstruction group and control group respectively at end of the June of 2015.RFS 5 years was 75.2％ and 63.3％ respectively in the reconstruction group and control group, showing significant difference between them (P < 0.05).OS 5 years was 81.7％ and 83.3％ respectively in the reconstruction group and control group, with no statistical difference (P ＞ 0.05).Five aspects of physiological status, social/family status, emotion, functional status,additional focus in the reconstruction group 1 year postoperative were higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Physiology, social/family situation, emotion, functional status of the reconstruction group 2 years after operation were higher than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Scores of physiologic al status, social/family status, emotion, functional status and addition of 2 years in the reconstruction group were higher than those in 1 year after operation, with significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The score improvement in control group was not obvious. Immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy of breast improve the survival quality and postoperative RFS, but has no obvious effect on overall survival.
