Data interpretation is limited by the lack of previous reference values based solely on patients with a recent breast cancer diagnosis. Methods: A total of 627 patients, all with newly diagnosed breast cancer, were asked to participate in the study. The BREAST-Q modules for mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery were used.
