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 Background Mastoscopic surgery is proven to have lower incidence of postoperative complications and better postoperative recovery than traditional breast cancer surgery. This study aimed to examine the feasibility of mastoscopic modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with skin nipple-areola preservation under air cavity-free suspension hook and stage I silicone prosthesis implantation (SMALND) compared with routine MRM. Methods This was a retrospective study of patients who underwent MRM for breast cancer at the Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University between January 1, 2019, and June 30, 2019. Surgical outcomes, complications, satisfaction, and quality of life (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast [FACT-B] [Chinese version]) were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 87 patients were enrolled, with 30 underwent SMALND and 57 underwent routine MRM. The intraoperative blood loss in the SMALND group was lower than in the control group (165.3±44.1 vs. 201.4±52.7 ml, P=0.001), the operation time was longer (220.5±23.9 vs. 155.6±9.2 min, P<0.001), daily axillary drainage volume was smaller (20.2±3.6 vs. 24.1±3.0 ml, P<0.001), daily subcutaneous drainage volume was smaller (15.5±2.3 vs. 19.3±3.5 ml, P<0.001), the discharge time was shorter (7.5±1.6 vs. 9.0±1.8 days, P<0.001), and FACT-B scores were higher (83.8±5.6 vs. 72.1±4.6, P<0.001). The overall satisfaction was higher in the SMALND group than in the controls (76.7% vs. 54.4%, P=0.041). Compared with the controls, the occurrence rates of nipple and flap necrosis, upper limb edema, and paraesthesia in the SMALND group were lower within 6 months (all P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with traditional MRM, SMALND had better surgical outcomes, higher satisfaction, higher quality of life, and lower complication rates.

Background: Many complications may occur after modified radical mastectomy (MRM) such as restricted shoulder mobility, wound infection, seroma formation, pain and lymph edema. Purpose: To find the correlation between shoulder flexion and abduction range of motion (ROM) with upper extremity disability and quality of life in female post MRM. Methodology: A cross section observation study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. A total of 20 breast cancer survivors who underwent MRM before 6 months or more were included. Their affected side shoulder flexion and abduction ROM was measured using universal goniometer, upper extremity disability was assessed using Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI) and Quality of Life was assessed using WHOQoL-BREF questionnaire. Results: Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to find the correlation. Strong positive correlation was found between shoulder flexion ROM and UEFI score, physical, psychological and environmental domains, whereas moderate positive correlation was found between shoulder flexion ROM and overall QoL, these were statistically significant (p<0.001). But there was weak positive correlation found between shoulder flexion ROM and social domain of WHOQoL-BREF which was statistically not significant (p>0.001). Further strong positive correlation was found between shoulder abduction ROM and UEFI score, overall Qol, physical and psychological domain and moderate positive correlation was found between shoulder abduction ROM and environmental domain whereas again weak positive correlation found with social domain which was statistically not significant (p>0.001). Conclusion: Decreased shoulder ROM can increase upper extremity disability and affect overall QoL in breast cancer survivors post MRM. Keywords: Breast cancer survivors, Modified Radical Mastectomy, Quality of Life, Shoulder ROM, Upper extremity disability.
