Results

The study showed that women treated with Halsted radical mastectomy had a lower quality of life than those with modified radical mastectomy and breast conservative surgery ( P﹤0.05), and there was no significant difference between modified radical mastectomy and breast conservative surgery( P﹥0.05).Quality of marital life was increased with diminution of operation extent ( P﹤0.05), but the score of quality of marital life was still lower than that of the norm.

Conclusions

Patients'marital life and quality of life can be influenced after mastectomy.Quality of life of the women with modified radical mastectomy is higher than with Halsted radical mastectomy,and breast conservative surgery helps to improve quality of life.
