About this study

The planned ten-year follow-up using Patient reported outcome measure will give us the unique opportunity to gain insight into patients' breast-related QoL (Quality of Life) long after surgery and detect systematic issues that may affect them beyond the scope of routine follow-up consultations. Along with the detection of any occurring adverse events, the information gathered in the database will facilitate the search for risk factors involved in their development, ideally resulting in their rectification and thus contributing to patient well-being in the long term.
