ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring how different types of breast surgery affect the quality of life for young women diagnosed with breast cancer, particularly focusing on factors like income and social background. The researchers want to understand if certain surgeries, such as breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy with reconstruction, provide different benefits depending on a patient's socioeconomic situation. They believe that younger patients who are more socially active might experience varying levels of satisfaction and quality of life based on the type of surgery they undergo.
To be eligible for this study, participants should be women aged between 18 and 50 years old with unilateral breast cancer (cancer in one breast) who are generally in good health and can safely undergo surgery. They must also be able to follow the study guidelines and have signed the necessary consent forms. In this trial, participants can expect to share their experiences and outcomes after surgery, which will help researchers better understand the impact of surgery types on young women from diverse backgrounds. This research is particularly important as it aims to include Asian populations, which have not been extensively studied in previous research.
