Abstract :

Background: In 1990, the National Institute of Health (NIH) released a consensus statement recommending the use of east conserving surgery (BCS) with adjuvant radiotherapy instead of mastectomy for the treatment of early–stage (stage I or II) east cancer, whenever possible. Results: Total of 40 patients were included and divided into two groups. According to visual analogue scale the mean of mental satisfaction score in MRM group is 6.66, while in BCS group mean of mental satisfaction score is 7.60. P value by statistical analysis being 0.016, the difference is statistically significant. Conclusion: In cases of early east cancer BCS offers a better option than MRM. Patient that had undergone BCS have significantly better health status with regard to physical functioning, health perception & vitality, social functioning & role, emotional and mental health and self–esteem.
