Chronic post-mastectomy pain affects 20.9% of women, with risk factors including younger age, less extensive surgery, and radiotherapy. This study investigated prevalence and risk factors in the Czech Republic.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pain Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Chronic pain is a common sequela of surgery, with chronic post-mastectomy pain affecting 40-50% in international studies.
  • The prevalence and risk factors for chronic post-mastectomy pain have not been previously studied in the Czech Republic.

Purpose:

  • To determine the prevalence of chronic post-mastectomy pain in the Czech Republic.
  • To identify risk factors associated with the development of chronic post-mastectomy pain in this population.

Summary:

  • A retrospective prevalence study involving 330 women found that 20.9% experienced chronic post-mastectomy pain.
  • Identified risk factors include younger age (under 55-60), less extensive surgery (tumorectomy vs. mastectomy), intensive postoperative pain, and radiotherapy.

  • Pain intensity was predominantly mild to moderate, with a trend observed for chemotherapy.

    • Impact:

    • This study provides the first epidemiological data on chronic post-mastectomy pain in the Czech Republic.
    • Findings suggest that specific patient and treatment characteristics are associated with increased risk, informing potential preventative strategies.
    • The observed prevalence is lower than reported internationally, warranting further investigation into causative factors.
