Re: Survival outcomes after contralateral prophylactic mastectomy: a decision analysis.
BACKGROUND Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) rates have substantially increased in recent years and may reflect an exaggerated perceived benefit from the procedure. The objective of this study was to evaluate the magnitude of the survival benefit of CPM for women with unilateral breast cancer. METHODS We developed a Markov model to simulate survival outcomes after CPM and no CPM amo...
متن کاملContralateral prophylactic mastectomy: current perspectives
There has been an increasing trend in the use of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) in the United States among women diagnosed with unilateral breast cancer, particularly young women. Approximately one-third of women <40 years old are undergoing CPM in the US.

متن کاملContralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy : Characteristics Influencing Utilization
Purpose: Breast conservation has been shown to have similar mortality rates as compared to mastectomy. We hypothesized that variables involving the patient, tumor and surgeon influence the treatment a patient may choose. Methods: Retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of all patients who underwent surgical treatment for breast cancer between 2000 and 2009 was performed. Mul...
متن کاملIncreasing use of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy: a counterintuitive trend.
A recent study has provided evidence that the use of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) is increasing.[1] Over the 5-year period from 1998 to 2003, the CPM rate doubled. Prior studies have shown that the surgical procedures chosen by patients are most commonly influenced by physician and surgeon recommendation. This has been observed in the choice of CPM as well.[2] The data strongly s...
متن کاملFactors affecting the decision of breast cancer patients to undergo contralateral prophylactic mastectomy.

The objective of this study was to identify factors that may affect a patient's decision to undergo CPM. We identified 2,504 women with stage 0 to III unilateral primary breast cancer who underwent breast surgery at our institu...
