Introduction:Women undergoing mastectomy choose to pursue breast reconstruction (BR) in order to reduce their body image distress.Adjuvant chest wall irradiation is associated with a negative cosmetic outcome. The aim of our review was to identify the optimal timing of BR relating to radiotherapy delivery.Materials and Methods:Using Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Springer, Wanfang and CNKI, we performed a non-systematic review of articles published up to August 2021.Result:There is no hard evidence in favor of immediate, delayed or 2-stage BR when post-mastec-tomy radiation is indicated. Immediate and 2-stage BR seem to be valid alternatives to delayed BR.Conclusion:Further research is essential in order to assess clinician and patient reported aesthetic outcomes and determine the optimal timing of BR in view of post-mastectomy radiotherapy, in breast cancer survivors. |
