| Abstract: | Introduction Breast cancer is now associated with long-term disease-free and overall survival, and in the setting of mastectomy, long term
psycho-sexual health becomes an important consideration. To this end, breast reconstruction has been shown to significantly
improve quality of life for mastectomy patients. With adjuvant radiotherapy often required in the setting of breast reconstruction,
it is unclear what interaction the two can have. |
