What this trial studies

This observational study aims to collect data on the quality of life experienced by patients following oncoplastic breast surgery. Participants will be monitored for five years post-surgery and will complete quality of life questionnaires to evaluate their recovery and overall well-being. The study focuses on individuals with breast cancer or those at high risk, gathering insights into their experiences and outcomes after surgical intervention.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals aged 18 or older with breast cancer or those at high risk who are undergoing breast surgery.

Not a fit: Patients requiring only local anesthesia for surgery or those with a history of other cancers may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into improving post-surgical care and support for breast cancer patients.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on quality of life post-surgery, this specific focus on oncoplastic surgery and long-term follow-up is relatively novel.
