Abstract

Purpose of Review

Women electing to undergo breast reconstruction following mastectomy have increased in frequency. Classically studied healthcare disparities have an influence on whether women undergo reconstruction. This review evaluates these domains, globally, while exploring why they exist.

Recent Findings

In the USA, women who are young, white, with higher income and education level, private insurance, and those treated at private or academic hospitals are most likely to undergo reconstruction. Women of a minority race or ethnicity, lower socioeconomic group, early education status, and with public or no insurance remain less likely to undergo reconstruction. Breast reconstruction is not commonly available to women in low- and middle-income countries.

Summary

Disparities in breast reconstruction persist though significant strides have been made in many high-income nations. Internationally, concerted efforts are needed that focus on health literacy education, access to surgical consultations, and an inclusion of breast reconstruction in the breast cancer treatment process.

Changes over time were also evaluated by race and ethnicity. Their analysis demonstrated that breast reconstruction rates have increased overtime more quickly for minority patients, and that race is associated with different types of reconstruction.

Using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, this study described trends in racial disparities for women undergoing breast reconstruction and by reconstruction subtype. From 2005 to 2014, overall reciept of reconstruction increased, reciept of autologous reconstruction decreased, reciept of free-flap autologous increased dramatically. These trends were significant for all racial groups. In addition, the index of disparity decreased for overal reconstruction including implant-based reconstruction and free-flap reconstruction.

JAMA Surg. 2017;152(8):775–83. This retrospective study evaluated whether legislation mandating physician-patient communication led to reduced racial/ethnic disparities in immediate breast reconstruction. Communication was not associated with the overall reconstruction rate or the disparity between white and African American patients, however, it was associated with a reduction in disparities between Hispanic and white patients. Therefore, legislation may help address inequity in use of immediate reconstruction, but may not help certain subpopulations. PubMedPubMedCentral

Umsetzung der POMGAT-Leitlinie läuft

03.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Seit November 2023 gibt es evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen zum perioperativen Management bei gastrointestinalen Tumoren (POMGAT) auf S3-Niveau. Vieles wird schon entsprechend der Empfehlungen durchgeführt. Wo es im Alltag noch hapert, zeigt eine Umfrage in einem Klinikverbund.

ASS schützt nicht vor Brustkrebsrezidiven

02.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

Nützt nichts und ist vielleicht sogar schädlich: In einer Phase-3-Studie konnten täglich 300 mg ASS keine Brustkrebsrezidive bei Frauen vermeiden, die ein hohes Risiko für eine Tumorrückkehr aufwiesen. Tendenziell traten unter ASS sogar häufiger Rezidive auf als unter Placebo.

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.
