What this trial studies

This observational project will enroll adults who underwent any type of breast surgery at University Hospital Basel and follow them for up to ten years. Participants will complete standardized patient-reported outcome measures at baseline and at predefined intervals to document breast-related and overall quality of life and any adverse events. The longitudinal database will be used to detect systematic issues and identify risk factors for complications or poorer quality of life. No investigational interventions are given; data are collected from questionnaires and routine clinical information to inform long-term care improvements.
