Abstract

Objective: Describe some clinical, subclinical characteristics and caring for post-operative patients with breast cancer by modified radical mastectomy. Subjects and Methods: a retrospective descriptive of 33 patients diagnosed with clinical stage I-II breast cancer who underwent modified radical mastectomy at the Oncology Center, Hanoi Medical University Hospital from February 2023 to November 2023. Results: The average age of patients was 47.7 ± 8.35 years old. Before surgery, the mean size of a tumor was 2.55 cm. The sensitivity of ultrasound was less than mammography. 90.9% of patients had dry and clean wounds, 9.1% appeared fluid absorbent bandages after 3 days surgery. The mean time to remove the surgical drains was 10.21 ± 1.69 days. Twelve days were an average hospitalization period. The rate of surgical complications was minimal (24,3%). Limitation of arm movement (18,2%) and seroma (6,1%) were the most common post-operative complications. Complications of hemorrhage and infection incision were not detected. Conclusion: Modified radical mammectomy has few complications. The most common complication is limitation of arm movement and seroma.
