Body image and sexual problems in young women with breast cancer (2006, result): “These results are consistent with those of Rowland et al. (2000) who found that women who had mastectomy with reconstruction were most likely to report that breast cancer had a negative impact on their sex lives but suggests that the pathway may be through changes in their body image.”
From cancer patient to cancer survivor : lost in transition (2006, background): “The specific type of breast cancer surgery or taking tamoxifen does not influence the level of distress (Maunsell et al., 1989; Ganz et al., 1992, 1993, 1998a,b; Omne-Ponten et al., 1994; Schover et al., 1995; Day et al., 1999, 2001; Rowland et al., 2000; Fallowfield et al., 2001).”
Awareness and current knowledge of breast cancer (2017, background): “All females having a mastectomy must be presented the option to converse reconstructive surgical treatment [172].”
Quality of life in long-term, disease-free survivors of breast cancer: a follow-up study. (2002, background): “Reports from the initial assessment focused on healthrelated QOL and sexual functioning (11,13,16,17), the impact of surgery and systemic adjuvant therapy on QOL outcomes (12, 14 ), and the correlates of fatigue in breast cancer survivors (15).”
