A Population -Based Assessment of Long-Term Sexual WellBeing and Patient Satisfaction after Breast Reconstruction and Post-Mastectomy Radiation

Sexual well-being and breast satisfaction are improved with reconstruction 6 years after mastectomy for breast cancer. However, these improvements were attenuated for women who received PMRT. To our knowledge, this is the first study to look at long term outcomes of sexual well-being and treatment satisfaction after breast reconstruction for patients who underwent mastectomy for breast cancer. These data suggest that continued work should be done to optimize patient outcomes when combining PMRT and breast reconstruction.
