Does mastectomy compared to l-ANP affect complication rates in women undergoing breast cancer surgery?
Morbidity and mortality following breast cancer surgery are low, but mastectomy carries a higher complication rate than l-ANP, primarily wound infections.
Morbidity and mortality rates following BCS in women are low, limiting their value in assessing quality of care. Mastectomy carries higher complication rate than l-ANP with wound infection being the most common.
El‐Tamer et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
