“…The more invasive the treatment is, the less satisfied women are regarding their body and well-being. However, many researchers indicate (e.g., Ashing-Giwaa, Padilla, Bohorqueza, Tejeroa, & Garcia 2006;Fung, Lau, Fielding, Or, & Wai, 2001;Kissane et al, 1998;Pinto & Trunzo, 2004;Schou, Ekeberg, Sandvik, Hjermstad, & Ruland, 2005) that women who underwent breast-conservation surgery have a better body image, fewer body-change-related worries and feel more accepted by their spouses compared to women after mastectomy.

Nie bez znaczenia było obniżenie jakości życia i depresja po amputacji piersi [11][12][13][14]. Doniesienia o wpływie zabiegu amputacji piersi na aparat ruchu i psychikę oraz jakość życia pacjentek są liczne, o tyle brakuje wiarygodnych doniesień na temat wpływu tego zabiegu na koordynację i równowagę.…”
