“…Research by other authors later showed similar results [ 29 , 30 ]. In addition, similar findings are found in other papers, namely, women in all ages after radical mastectomy had the worst level of general satisfaction with life [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

Background and objectives: Quality of life (QoL) after breast cancer surgery is an important public health issue. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the levels of perceived quality of life in patients operated on for breast cancer in relation to the type of surgery, using the standardized questionnaires. Materials and Methods: We assessed 425 women after surgery for breast cancer. The assessment included the application of the WHOQOL-bref (The World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref), and FACT-B (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast) questionnaires. The statistical analysis of the data included multiple linear regression and correlation tests. Results: Multiple linear regression analysis found that education, existence of comorbidities, time elapsed since surgery, and type of surgery were significant predictors of overall quality of life. Women’s overall quality of life and general health has increased by 0.16 times for each subsequent year of surgery, and by 0.34 times for each subsequent higher education level. Breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy with breast reconstruction were statistically significant (β = 0.18) compared to total mastectomy. Conclusions: There is a significant difference in the quality of life perceived by patients in whom the breast has been preserved or reconstructed in relation to patients in whom total mastectomy has been performed.

“…Also, studies carried out by Croft et al, (2014) showed that married women who were diagnosed with breast cancer after 5 years from the diagnosis had a higher level of optimism compared to unmarried women. In the studies of Cobo-Cuenca et al, (2018) and Acil and Cavdar (2014) it was shown that women in relationships had greater life satisfaction compared to unmarried women. Demonstrating the relationship between being in a relationship with QOL and women with breast cancer indicates the importance of family support in the fight against the disease.…”

Background. Breast cancer treatment is an aggressive therapy that affects the deterioration of women's quality of life (QOL) in many areas. Knowledge about factors that influence the assessment of the QOL is of particular importance. The aim of the study was to analyse areas of the quality of life of women with breast cancer, taking into account social and demographic factors. Methods: The research was carried included 324 women with breast cancer. The research was carried out using a diagnostic survey, the author's questionnaire and a standardized questionnaire for measuring the QOL of women treated for breast cancer, ie the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC) QLQ-C30 and QLQ-QLQ module BR23. Statistical analysis uses Statistica 10.0 software. The results were considered statistically significant when the calculated probability met the inequality of p <0.05. Results: A lower QoL was found in women with diagnosed breast cancer. With age, the QoL score of respondents in the area of physical, sexual and hair loss decreased, and the following symptoms intensified: pain, insomnia, lack of appetite and shoulder ailments. The age of the respondents positively correlated with the image of their own body and social functioning. Higher QOL (higher values of functional scales and lower intensity of symptoms) were found in patients in relationships (in the scope of: cognitive functioning, future prospects), with higher education (in the scope of: physical, emotional, cognitive and sexual functioning) and declaring very good situation financial (in the scope of: physical, emotional, cognitive functioning, performing social roles). Conclusions: Age, marital status, education and financial situation influenced the QOL of women with breast cancer. In the care of women with breast cancer, attention should be paid to the individualisation of the therapeutic process, with particular emphasis on psychotherapy and support by social services.

“…Breast surgery can be done in two ways, in first one which is called Breast-Conserving Surgery (BCS), only the tumor and some surrounding tissue is removed and natural breast shape is preserved. In the second type called Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM) the entire breast is removed (Acil et al, 2014). Data analysis was performed using spss version 20 and Cox proportional hazard models was fitted to the data.…”

Background: Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts from cells of the breast and is seen mainly in women. It's the most common cancer in women worldwide and is a major threat to health. The purpose of this study was to fit a Cox proportional hazards model for prediction and determination of years of survival in Iranian patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 366 patients with breast cancer in the Cancer Research Center were included in the study. A Cox proportional hazard model was used with variables such as tumor grade, number of removed positive lymph nodes, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression and several other variables. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted and multi-years of survival were evaluated. Results: The mean age of patients was 48.1 years. Consumption of fatty foods (p=0.033), recurrence (p<0.001), tumor grade (p=0.046) and age (p=0.017) were significant variables. The overall 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were found to be 93%, 75% and 52%. Conclusions: Use of covariates and the Cox proportional hazard model are effective in predicting the survival of individuals and this model distinguished 4 effective factors in the survival of patients.
