Évaluation de la satisfaction des patientes atteintes d'un cancer du sein et des résultats de qualité de vie liés à la santé

This study will be a prospective observational study of women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. To date, there is little data in the literature assessing and comparing the outcomes associated with breast cancer surgical procedures. Information of satisfaction of patients with treatment, result, and breast cancer education they receive is particularly deficient. Therefore, breast cancer female patients will be recruited at Henry Ford Health System. Participants will voluntarily complete surveys electronically at specific points during their treatment and recovery process. Responses and satisfaction of quality of life will be collected and analyzed.

The BREAST-Q survey will be used to obtain patient reported outcomes.The surveys will be given preoperatively, at six months, one year, two years, and five years. Specific surveys will be given to the patients based on the treatment modality they receive.The groups are breast conserving therapy, mastectomy along, and mastectomy with reconstruction.The mastectomy with reconstruction group will be further subdivided based on implant or autologous tissue reconstruction. A survey adapted from the 'Patient Satisfaction with Cancer Treatment Education (PS-CaTE)' questionnaire will be administered at the preoperative and one year time point to evaluate satisfaction with their breast cancer education. PS-CaTE consists of two parts. Part one evaluates the patient's perception of the breast cancer education. Part two serves to elucidate the primary information sources the patients utilized by the patients. A demographic survey will also be given to patients preoperatively and postoperatively. Survey results will be analyzed to detect differences in health-related quality of life among the different treatments.

BREAST-Q surveys are health-related quality of life survey instruments developed to allow validated and reliable acquisition of patient reported outcomes.These surveys were meticulously crafted following internationally accepted guidelines as established by the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Medical Outcomes Trust and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The item list of this survey was developed from patient interviews, focus groups, expert panels, and literature review. Separate modules were developed for each treatment modality and include BREAST-Q Breast Conserving Therapy, BREAST-Q Mastectomy, BREAST-Q Reconstruction. These surveys have been used in major trials including the United Kingdom's National Health Service survey of 8,000 patients with mastectomy and mastectomy with reconstruction and FDA surveillance and longitudinal follow-up of patients with silicone breast implants.
