Paper Title:
Impact of Modified Radical Mastectomy vs Breast-Conserving Surgery: Clinical Practice in Women with Breast Cancer 10 Years study at Tertiary Cancer Center in Nepal
Among women in Nepal, breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer. Surgery plays a crucial and definitive role in the treatment of this form of cancer. Over the years, numerous research studies have been conducted, revealing that breast-conserving surgery (BCS) followed by radiotherapy offers disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates comparable to those of mastectomy (MRM).
The primary responsibility for discussing treatment choices with the patient falls to the surgeon. This study was conducted retrospectively at the Breast Unit within the Department of Surgical Oncology at B.P. Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital in Bharatpur, Nepal.
The study included patients diagnosed with stage I or II breast cancer, with tumor sizes smaller than 5 cm. Patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer were not part of the study. This study included patients who received their breast cancer diagnoses between 2013 and 2023. A total of 2,382 female patients were enrolled in the study. Out of this cohort, 97.23% (n = 2,316) of the females chose mastectomy (MRM), while 2.77% (n = 66) opted for breast-conserving surgery (BCS). The primary motivations cited by patients for choosing mastectomy (MRM) included concerns about cancer recurrence (3.88%, n = 90), a desire to avoid a greater portion of radiation therapy (2.6%, n = 60), and the financial strain associated with treatment (5.18%, n = 120).
The research indicates that the primary individuals influencing the choice of surgical treatment are the treating surgeon and the patient's spouse. Additionally, the active involvement of women in the counseling process is a significant factor.
