BACKGROUND: @entity308 is prevalent among @entity1 and associated with reduced quality of life, and therefore it is important to determine its incidence in adult @entity1 , especially in those with @entity0 . OBJECTIVE: To determine the occurrence of @entity308 in @entity1 who underwent conservative surgery for @entity0 with or without breast reconstruction. METHODS: Seventy-five @entity1 aged between 18 and 65 years were enrolled. @entity1 had undergone conservative surgery for @entity0 with immediate breast reconstruction (n = 25) or without breast reconstruction (n = 25) at least one year before the study. The control group consisted of 25 @entity1 without @entity5 , but of similar age and educational level distribution as the other two groups. The Beck @entity308 Inventory was used to measure @entity308 . The collected data were assessed using analysis of variance and the      test. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between groups in age (p = 0.72) or educational level (p = 0.20). A smaller number of @entity1 had undergone the menopause (p = 0.02) in the control group than in other groups. There were no significant differences in occurrence of @entity308 between groups (     = 9.97; p = 0.126). CONCLUS  ON: Conservative surgery for @entity0 did not affect the occurrence of @entity308 in @entity1 , regardless of whether breast reconstruction was performed.
