- Abstract
The article presents a study which aims to examine the effect of postmastectomy breast reconstruction in time of adjuvant chemotherapy. The study assigned definitive surgery and was classified as breast conserving surgery (BCS), mastectomy only, and mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction (M + DR). Results show that immediate reconstruction did not increase the chance that adjuvant chemotherapy would be omitted in women who can benefit from it.
