Exploring Breast Reconstruction in Late-stage Breast Cancer Patients
Breast reconstruction is feasible and safe in late-stage breast cancer patients. Despite greater comorbidities and more aggressive disease, late-stage patients achieve complication rates and satisfaction comparable to early-stage patients. Future research should refine protocols to address the specific needs of late-stage patients, emphasizing quality of life and patient-centered outcomes.
