Summary: This study examined the association between patient-surgeon race and gender concordance and quality of life (QoL) after breast reconstruction. The results showed that race concordance was associated with improved global QoL, while gender concordance had no effect on QoL outcomes. These findings suggest the need for policy-level interventions to provide personalized care and optimize breast cancer surgery outcomes.

Summary: This study aimed to compare longitudinal patient-reported outcomes between breast cancer patients undergoing lumpectomy and mastectomy, finding that mastectomy patients experienced significantly greater decreases in breast satisfaction, psychosocial well-being, and sexual well-being over time compared with lumpectomy patients, with lumpectomy patients more likely to return to baseline scores at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Understanding these differences can inform early intervention strategies to prevent long-term morbidities.

Summary: This study evaluated patient satisfaction and health-related quality of life in breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving therapy (BCT) and breast reduction (BR) surgeries. The results showed high satisfaction levels in both BCT and BR groups, and similar outcomes were observed between the two surgical levels.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of surgical timing, procedure, and age on complication rates, health-related quality of life, and postoperative satisfaction in patients who underwent breast reconstruction. The results showed that breast reconstruction significantly improved patients' quality of life and satisfaction, and immediate reconstruction reduced adverse psychological and physical effects. Patients who underwent breast reconstruction with abdominal flaps had higher postoperative satisfaction, and elderly patients also achieved satisfactory surgical outcomes.

Summary: This study developed, tested, and validated machine learning algorithms to predict individual patient-reported outcomes at 1-year follow-up for women with breast cancer, aiming to facilitate individualized, patient-centered decision-making. Current decision-making relying on group-level evidence may not provide optimal treatment recommendations for individuals.

Summary: This study compared patient-reported outcomes and complications between SIS matrix-assisted direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction and autologous latissimus dorsi flap (LDF) breast reconstruction. The results showed no significant differences between LDF reconstruction and mini latissimus dorsi flap (MLDF) reconstruction, but patients in the autologous LDF reconstruction group had better psychosocial well-being and sexual well-being compared to the SIS matrix-assisted DTI reconstruction group.

Summary: This study compared biological matrix-assisted one-stage IBBR with traditional two-stage IBBR in terms of surgical complications and patient-reported outcomes. The results showed that while biological matrix-assisted one-stage IBBR had higher satisfaction levels, it also had a higher rate of minor postoperative complications.

Summary: This study compared patient-reported outcomes between direct-to-implant (DTI) and deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flaps for immediate breast reconstruction, and evaluated whether outcomes change over time. The results showed that compared to DTI reconstruction, DIEP reconstruction was associated with higher satisfaction with breast reconstruction and overall outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes improved over time.

Summary: Multiple imputation (MI) is a statistical method for addressing missing data in clinical research. This study used a real-world data example to demonstrate the effectiveness of MI in producing consistent results in different scenarios.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses among breast reconstruction patients and measure their association with patient-reported outcomes. It found that psychiatric disorders had a significant impact on patient well-being, highlighting the need for further research and interventions for breast cancer patients undergoing reconstruction.

Summary: This study compares the surgical, oncological, and patient-reported outcomes between oncoplastic level II breast-conserving surgery (OPS2) and conservative mastectomy (CM) in patients with large DCIS. The results show that OPS2 has better cosmetic outcomes, similar surgical and oncological outcomes compared to CM, with lower rates of surgical adjustments and shorter hospital stay.

Summary: Oncoplastic breast surgery combines plastic surgery techniques with conventional breast-conserving surgery and expands eligibility. This study compares long-term patient-reported outcomes after oncoplastic breast surgery and breast-conserving surgery. The results show that patients who underwent oncoplastic breast surgery reported lower psychosocial well-being scores preoperatively and 3-5 years postoperatively, but had similar breast satisfaction and sexual well-being compared to patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery.

Summary: This study evaluated postoperative complications, aesthetic results, and satisfaction outcomes in patients with breast cancer who underwent skin-sparing or nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate prosthetic reconstruction. The use of a biological mesh during reconstruction resulted in lower implant loss and higher satisfaction rates.
