Factors Influencing the Recurrence of Breast Cancer Following Modified Radical Mastectomy

Breast cancer is most common cancer in females. Modified radical mastectomy is operation in female which affects social life and physical life. There is also slightly moderate in quality of life in female undergone modified radical mastectomy. The aim of the study was to find “Evaluation of Posture and Quality Of Life in Females undergone Modified Radical Mastectomy’’ This study was carried out in Physiotherapy OPD, Ravi Nair Physiotherapy College and AVBRH, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha. The objectives included to evaluate posture in female’s undergone Modified radical mastectomy and to evaluate Quality of life. The present study titled “Evaluation of Posture and Quality of Life in females undergone Modified Radical Mastectomy” which comprised of 35 females. The present study showed that slight changes in posture in females undergone modified radical mastectomy and moderately hampered in social domain of quality of life. From the present study we concluded that there is slight changes in posture in female patients undergone MRM and there is good quality of life in physical , psychological , environment domain and moderate quality of life in social domain. This study will helps in evaluating posture and QOL after Modified radical mastectomy. Hence after every modified radical mastectomy conditions, therapists always follow ergonomics to prevent bad posture and improve quality of life. Hence, the evaluation of posture and QOL should be include in all assessment proformas related MRM conditions.

Abstract Introduction: Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) is a breast cancer treatment option that is still operable. One of the postoperative complications that can be found is the formation of seroma. High negative suction drain is done to treat seroma after surgery but it can contribute to increase the length of stay in hospital. Methods: This study was a clinical randomized control trial (cRCT) conducted on 30 breast cancer patients in June - July 2019 at Moehammad Hoesin Hospital in Palembang. This study divided the two sample groups, each group consisting of 15 patients. One group was given half negative pressure on suction drain (experimental group) and the other used full negative pressure on suction drain (control group). Results: There was a significant difference (p <0.005) between the full and half negative pressure groups where there were more seroma events in the full vacuum group in 9 (60%) cases and half vacuum in 2 (30%) but there were no significant differences in long period of stay (p> 0.005). Conclusion: Half negative pressure is more effective in treating seroma than full negative pressure.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancy and leading cause of cancer related deaths in women worldwide. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is done to characterize intracellular proteins or cell-surface antigens and is used to assess tumour subtypes, confirm diagnosis, predict prognosis and response to therapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship of IHC profile- ER, PR and HER2 neu and prognosis of patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy for locally advanced breast cancer.Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at MES Medical College Hospital from October 2015 to November 2017 in patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy for locally advanced breast carcinoma. A total of 65 women were enrolled in the study. 5 years survival was taken as the prognostic indicator.Results: Majority of the patients belong to the age group of 40-49 years with 40% patients followed by 33.84% patients in the age group of 50-59 years. Maximum number of patients was found in 2B stage of tumour. Maximum patients belonged to the ER/PR+, HER2- subgroup (27), followed by triple negative (ER/PR-, HER2) subgroup (16). There was no disease related mortality in ER/PR+, HER2+ and ER/PR+, HER2- subgroups. There were 1 and 2 disease related mortality in ER/PR-, HER2+ and triple negative subgroups respectively.Conclusions: In the present study the worst prognosis was observed in triple negative (ER/PR-,HER2-) IHC subgroup followed by the HER2 enriched (ER/PR-, HER2+) subgroup.
