Breast Cancer, Quality of Life, Surgery, Narrative ReviewAbstract
This article aims to conduct a non-systematic and narrative review of the literature of studies comparing the quality of life in women with breast cancer undergoing different types of surgery. Analyzing the studies, they showed several aspects, grouped into three dimensions: a) Methodology adopted, referring to the instruments, the interval of evaluation, and the procedure of data collection; b) Sociodemographic and psychoemotional variables, related to age, educational level, marital status, sexuality and perception of body image; and c) Clinical variables, related to the type of treatment and the stage of the disease. Results leads us to reflect on the importance of including the assessment of quality of life in the treatment process and follow-up of patients, regardless of the type of surgery that women are submitted.
