Summary: For women with small, unilateral breast cancer, most are suitable candidates for breast conserving surgery (BCS) but a significant portion opt for mastectomy, with a rising percentage choosing contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM). Factors such as patient characteristics, tumor attributes, and facility features may influence the decision-making regarding CPM.

Summary: Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) is not recommended for average-risk women with breast cancer due to lack of evidence for survival benefit, yet recent studies demonstrate increasing CPM rates. Patients receiving CPMs tend to have higher reconstruction rates and be younger in age.

Summary: Partners, physicians, and the media significantly influence women with unilateral breast cancer's decision to undergo CPM surgery, with physicians having a greater influence and partners and the media having a lower influence compared to self-determination. Educational aids and programs are needed to help women make informed decisions regarding CPM efficacy.

Summary: This study compared post-operative reconstructive complications and oncologic treatment between patients who underwent unilateral versus bilateral nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) with implant based reconstruction (IBR). The results showed that there were no significant differences in the incidence of complications and reconstructive outcomes between the two groups. These findings provide support for patient choice in breast reconstruction surgery.

Summary: This study found that age, BMI, genetic testing, and breast reconstruction are factors contributing to the decision of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy at the time of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence.

Summary: Despite lack of survival benefit, demand for contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) to treat unilateral breast cancer remains high. High uptake of CPM has been demonstrated in Midwestern rural women. Greater travel distance for surgical treatment is associated with CPM.

Summary: Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) is associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer-specific death in male breast cancer patients. A nomogram model can provide a precise and personalized prediction of the cumulative risk in these patients after CPM, outperforming the AJCC criteria-based tumor staging.

Summary: This study identified a high rate of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) among breast cancer patients with ATM, CHEK2, and PALB2 gene alterations, including variants of uncertain significance (VUS). Premenopausal status and pathogenic alterations were associated with an increased use of CPM.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the temporal trends and survival benefits of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) in male breast cancer (MBC) patients between 1998 and 2016. The results showed a significant increase in CPM utilization, especially in young patients, but CPM did not provide a survival benefit compared to unilateral mastectomy (UM) in MBC patients.

Summary: Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) does not improve survival for TNBC patients without BRCA1/2 mutations, but may benefit those who are BRCA mutation carriers.

Summary: This study found that BRCA1/2 mutation carriers with breast cancer who did not receive postmastectomy radiation therapy had higher rates of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence. Despite earlier disease stages, their recurrence rates were higher compared to those who received postmastectomy radiation therapy or breast-conserving treatment.

Summary: Currently, the choice of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) for breast cancer patients is variable and controversial. This study aimed to conduct a meta-synthesis of qualitative studies on the decision-making experiences, real-life experiences, psychological feelings, and needs of breast cancer patients in CPM decision-making, with the aim of supporting the development of CPM practice decisions.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to summarize the available evidence regarding the outcomes of contralateral mastectomy (CM) as an alternative to breast reconstruction for women who underwent a mastectomy for unilateral breast cancer. The study found that women who chose to undergo CM reported high levels of satisfaction and had complication rates similar to those who underwent unilateral mastectomy without reconstruction.

Summary: This study compared the prognosis of repeat BCS and mastectomy in patients with IBTR, finding that repeat BCS was associated with worse overall survival and breast cancer-specific survival compared to mastectomy. The estrogen receptor status of IBTR was found to be an important factor in choosing repeat BCS, and radiation therapy may improve oncological safety after repeat BCS.

Summary: This study explored the experiences of the partners of women who undergo CPM. Most partners hoped their wives would choose a bilateral mastectomy, but the final decision was up to the women. The male partners had difficulty understanding the physical and emotional changes of mastectomy, making communication about sexuality and intimacy challenging.

Summary: Postradiation cutaneous angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare complication associated with adjuvant radiation treatment for breast carcinoma, which has a worse prognosis than the primary cancer. Recent studies have shown that MYC and NOTCH1 receptor expression can serve as markers for secondary radiation-associated angiosarcomas.
