Patient-Reported Outcomes 10 Years After Breast-Conserving Surgery for Early-Stage Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are a critical component of value-based care. Limited data exist describing long-term PROs in patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery (BCS).

Patients and methods

Patients undergoing surgery for stage 0-III breast cancer at our institution from 2002 to 2012 who agreed to be contacted were invited to participate in a cross-sectional PRO study. Health-related quality of life outcomes using BREAST-Q, EORTC QLQ-C30, and EORTC QLQ-BR45 were collected. Patients reporting chemotherapy within 6 months of receiving the survey were excluded. For this work, we focused on patients who underwent BCS. Multivariable linear regression was performed to identify factors associated with PRO scores, adjusting for age, time since surgery, anatomic
