Overview

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether it is practical (feasible) to conduct a larger study looking at the effects of the BREAST-Q Real-time Engagement and Communication Tool (REACT) on people's quality of life, interactions with their doctors, and medical interventions after undergoing routine breast conserving surgery or mastectomy. The BREAST-Q REACT tool shows scores from standard questionnaires completed before and after breast surgery about overall physical wellbeing, arm pain or tightness, the ability to move the arms and perform everyday tasks, and any symptoms related to the arms, and provides feedback including recommendations and detailed information that help explain these scores and guide topics for people and their doctor to discuss.

Interventions

This BREAST-Q domain measures pain or tightness and difficulty with mobility, such as lifting arms or running. The preoperative survey contains 10 items, whereas the postoperative survey contains 11 items. Values for BREAST-Q subscales are converted to summary scores, ranging from 0 to 100, via Q-Score software. Higher scores correlate with better patient quality of life. 37 This survey is administered as part of standard care for all patients.

QuickDASHOTHER

QuickDASH, also known as the Arm and Shoulder Range of Motion survey within MSK Engage is an 11-item survey that measures physical function and symptoms in people with any or multiple musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. It is currently standard of care for breast cancer surgery patients. It is a valid, reliable, and responsible survey that can be used for clinical and/or research purposes. Higher scores indicate greater disability.
