Incidence and Factors Affecting the Development and Outcome of Post Mastectomy Pain Syndrome

Sponsor: Singapore General Hospital

Summary

This multi-centre, prospective study aims to obtain a precise estimate of the local incidence of PMPS and identify biopsychosocial risk factors contributing to the development of PMPS. Recognition of the impact of PMPS on function and mood and quality of life in cancer survivors, and identification of risk factors would help physicians institute appropriate pre-operative counselling and preventive measures to reduce the development of PMPS. The investigators aim to follow up on the long-term multi-dimensional effects of PMPS, and continue to develop and validate a risk prediction model for patients at risk of PMPS in the next phase of the study.
