“…It might because BCT is less traumatic and takes a shorter recovery time postoperatively. A study by Šimunović, M. et al suggested that patients who underwent BCT had lower trauma stress response scores [ 33 ]. It might also easier for BCT patients to return to normal life as less changes would be made to breast.…”

Aim To investigate the impacts of breast conservation therapy (BCT) and mastectomy on heart-specific mortality in breast cancer patients. Methods Patients with primary breast cancer registered in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between Jan 1998 and Dec 2015 were included. Patients were divided into either breast conservation therapy or mastectomy group. To compare mortality caused by heart diseases in breast cancer patients with BCT or mastectomy, univariate and multivariate regression after propensity score matching (PSM) were performed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was also used to evaluate heart-specific survival between two groups. Results 132,616 patients with breast cancer were enrolled in this study. After PSM, four risk factors including age, race, marital status and types of surgery were identified significantly associated with death from heart diseases. Heart-specific survival analysis further showed that overall, BCT poses a lower risk to heart-specific mortality compared with mastectomy. Conclusion Compared with mastectomy, BCT significantly decreased heart-specific mortality in breast cancer patients.

“…Identifying those benefits is in turn correlated with lower perceived cancer-related stress [44,45]. Moreover, previous research shows that the intensity of stress symptoms may be predicted on the basis of appraisal of the disease in terms of stress and on the basis of self-assessment of coping with cancer [46]. Based on previous research, we expect that: H3: Coping styles are related to stress level: (H3.1.)…”

Purpose The aim of the study was to provide support for the hypothesis that there was a correlation between the subjective appraisal of one’s disease and the level of stress, as well as the hypothesis that coping styles may have a mediating role on the relationship between the perception of the disease and stress level in patients diagnosed with lung cancer. Methods The study involved 97 respondents diagnosed with lung cancer, including 50 men and 47 women. The following methods were used for the study: the Disease-Related Appraisals Scale, the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations, and the Perceived Stress Scale. Socio-demographic data were also collected. Results The results show that emotion-oriented coping (EOC) acts as a mediator on the relationship between the appraisal of the disease and stress level in patients diagnosed with lung cancer. A total of 4 multiple mediation models were tested. Conclusion The research findings provide support for the hypothesis that coping style is crucial for the way patients appraise their disease and for their stress level. It is important to diagnose individual specific needs of lung cancer patients. The research results are an important source of information for those responsible for training medical staff on how to support cancer patients in their illness.
