Our study demonstrated that autologous tissue breast reconstruction in breast cancer patients did not affect adversely the health-related quality of life compared to breast conserving therapy when the quality of life is assessed by the standardized questionnaire SF-36. In particular, the physical function is not reported to be significantly influenced negatively by the more extensive surgical therapy.

Our study demonstrated that breast reconstruction with autologous tissue offers an opportunity to support patients with advanced breast cancer who were confronted with mastectomy, showing a high degree of satisfaction with the cosmetic results.
