Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) rates have significantly increased following the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act. Factors like age, stage, and hormone receptor status influence IBR utilization in breast cancer patients.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 aimed to improve breast cancer patient outcomes.
  • Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) is a surgical option available to patients undergoing mastectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate recent trends in immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) utilization.
  • To identify factors associated with IBR following mastectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) database.
  • Analyzed data from Stage I-III breast cancer patients who underwent total mastectomy between 1998 and 2008.
  • Performed univariate and multivariate analyses to determine predictors of IBR.

Endoscopic Bilateral Nipple-sparing Mastectomy via a Single Axillary Incision with Immediate Pre-pectoral Implant-based Breast Reconstruction

Published on: May 17, 2024

Main Results:

  • IBR rates significantly increased from 1998 to 2008.
  • IBR use decreased with increasing patient age, cancer stage, and lymph node positivity.
  • Estrogen receptor-positive/progesterone receptor-positive (ER+/PR+) patients showed higher IBR rates compared to ER-/PR- patients.

Conclusions:

  • Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) utilization has significantly risen over the past decade.
  • IBR is associated with patient age, race, geographic region, cancer stage, hormone receptor status, tumor grade, lymph node status, and post-mastectomy radiation therapy.
