The number of new breast cancer patients in Taiwan Province Province can reach more than 6,543.8+0,000 every year. However, with the continuous progress of cancer prevention and treatment, more and more people can recover smoothly. Therefore, how to continue to have a normal and complete life mentally and physically after breast cancer is cured is a topic of increasing concern.

* * * is a woman's sexual characteristics. Some breast cancer patients will have psychological and emotional disorders that are difficult to adjust because of the loss of * * *, such as inferiority complex and other negative emotions. At this time, you can discuss with surgeons and plastic surgeons about * * * reconstruction.

* * * Reconstruction is not a part of breast cancer treatment, and it does not add points or detract from health. Dai Haozhi, deputy executive director of the Breast Cancer Prevention Foundation, first dispelled the common myth of * * * re-creation. As the director of plastic surgery at National Taiwan University Hospital, he pointed out that * * * reconstruction is not a part of conventional breast cancer treatment, and whether it is carried out or not, it will not affect health. * * * Reconstruction will not increase the recurrence rate of breast cancer.

"In addition, some people think that unilateral resection may cause scoliosis and other problems, but this phenomenon has never happened in clinic or research," Dai Haozhi pointed out. "The main purpose of rebuilding * * * * is to make women who have undergone * * * resection not have psychological burden because of the difficulty in dressing. 」

Who can do * * * reconstruction surgery? According to the investigation report of the Breast Cancer Patients Association of the Republic of China in 2005, 89.6% of the patients knew that they could be reconstructed after resection, but only 5.6% of them really achieved it. Dai Haozhi said that patients with early breast cancer and no metastasis are more suitable for * * * reconstruction, but according to his clinical experience, unless they are very young breast cancer patients, only 10% of cancer friends will consider * * * reconstruction on average.

According to Dai Haozhi's analysis, there are two opportunities for * * * reconstruction, one is immediate reconstruction after * * * resection, and the other is delayed reconstruction about 2 years after resection. "Clinically, 90% of patients will choose immediate reconstruction," Dai Haozhi pointed out.

Reconstruction immediately after resection has the advantages of easier psychological adjustment, shorter hospitalization days, less postoperative pain and less medical expenses. Delayed reconstruction is generally a little more difficult than immediate reconstruction, because there may be problems such as insufficient skin, sticky scar tissue and less choice of anastomotic vessels.

Silicone breast implant V.S. Autologous tissue transplantation According to the implanted materials, * * * reconstruction can be divided into silicone breast implant and autologous tissue transplantation. Dai Haozhi said that the advantages of breast implantation surgery are that the operation process is relatively simple and the time is short, but there is a 1-3% chance of contracture, deformation and infection, and there are many sequelae. And if there is not enough skin tissue, it may be necessary to place a tissue expander first, and then add breast milk 2-3 months after the operation. "Of course, the shape of reconstituted breast milk is different from that of natural breast milk, which is the biggest drawback," Dai Haozhi pointed out.

The advantage of autologous tissue transplantation is that the reconstructed * * * shape is similar to the natural * * *, and the long-term satisfaction of breast cancer patients is relatively high, but the operation process is more complicated and the operation time is longer. At present, skin flap transplantation is the main choice for autologous tissue transplantation, and rectus abdominis skin flap is the most choice, which has high success rate, few sequelae and natural reconstruction. The only drawback is that there is about a 5% chance of abdominal hernia.

Surgery is not the only option. Dai Haozhi said that in fact, it is not necessary to have surgery to have a complete * * * in appearance. At present, there are external breast augmentation in the market, plus a special bra, which is not only cheaper than surgery, but also convenient to use at 1000 yuan. He suggested that if cancer friends need breast augmentation in vitro, they can go to the Breast Cancer Prevention Foundation or other patient organizations to ask for purchase information.
