Abstract
Breast cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with mastectomy being a common treatment modality. Understanding the surgical outcomes and subsequent quality of life (QoL) in patients post‐mastectomy is crucial for improving care and support systems. This cross‐sectional study involved 160 breast cancer patients who underwent mastectomy at BKL Walawalkar Rural Medical College hospital. Data were collected through patient interviews and medical records to assess surgical outcomes and QoL. The study highlighted significant correlations between surgical techniques, postoperative care, and quality of life metrics. Early rehabilitation and ongoing psychological support were associated with improved QoL outcomes. Enhanced surgical approaches and comprehensive postoperative care are critical to improving the quality of life in breast cancer patients after mastectomy. This study underscores the importance of holistic care in breast cancer treatment protocols
