Premenopausal women represent approximately 35% of new breast cancer diagnoses. Diagnosis and treatment may lead to substantial disruption in quality of life (QOL).
Premenopausal patients (aged 18 to 50 years) treated for nonmetastatic breast cancer completed a mailed questionnaire. Multiple self-reported QOL measures and clinical data were collected. Cluster analysis and Cronbach's α were used to validate the survey. Analysis of variance was performed for specific interventions. Lower interference scores conveyed higher QOL.
The response rate was 49.8%. Cronbach's α was 0.96. Immediate contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) carried the highest interference (mean, 3.3148) with sexuality compared with no CPM (mean, 2.85) or delayed CPM (P = .03). Breast conservation had the least interference with appearance (P < .01) and work and finances (P = .02).
Therapeutic mastectomy and CPM with or without reconstruction may adversely affect QOL. These findings suggest that the choice and timing of interventions may significantly affect patient satisfaction.
绝经前女性约占新发乳腺癌诊断的 35%。诊断和治疗可能会导致生活质量(QOL)的严重下降。
接受非转移性乳腺癌治疗的绝经前患者(年龄 18 至 50 岁)完成了邮寄问卷。收集了多种自我报告的 QOL 测量和临床数据。使用聚类分析和 Cronbach's α 对调查进行验证。对特定干预措施进行方差分析。较低的干扰评分表示较高的 QOL。
回复率为 49.8%。Cronbach's α 为 0.96。即刻对侧预防性乳房切除术(CPM)对性的干扰最高(均值 3.3148),与无 CPM(均值 2.85)或延迟 CPM(P =.03)相比。保乳术对外观(P <.01)和工作和财务(P =.02)的干扰最小。
乳房切除术和 CPM 术式(包括重建)可能会对 QOL 产生不利影响。这些发现表明,干预措施的选择和时机可能会显著影响患者的满意度。
