ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Oncoplastic reconstruction (IOR) performed in conjunction with breast conserving therapy (BCT) has been found to improve psychosocial well-being, reduce hospitalization time, and reduce cost burden. Few studies have looked at the safety profile, complication rates, and overall outcomes in patients ages 65 years and older undergoing IOR versus BCT alone. METHODS: A retrospective, cross-sectional, single-institution medical record review was conducted of women diagnosed with breast cancer age 65 years or older who received IOR or BCT alone. Demographics, clinical data, and major and minor complication profiles were compared between cohorts. RESULTS: A total of 310 patients were included. Of these, 126 received IOR, while 184 received BCT alone. Age >85 was found to have a significantly higher risk for any complication and was an independent predictor for experiencing any complication (OR: 8.5, p = 0.015; OR: 1.06, p = 0.029). Major complication rates were significantly higher in the BCT cohort (16.9% vs. 7.9%, p = 0.023). CONCLUSION: IOR in the elderly is a safe option and was not found to be a predictor of experiencing higher complications. Patients who are 85 years and older had a higher risk of complications, and future studies may explore risk-benefit in that particular cohort of patients in which BCT is planned.
