Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in Singaporean women.More patients undergo mastectomy compared to breast conservative surgery.However, the proportion of patients who underwent breast reconstructions following mastectomy remained low.We compared the profile of our patients who had breast reconstruction with those who did not, over the last 12 years.We reviewed all mastectomy patients in our database, which contains prospectively collected data from January 1990 to June 2012.There were a total of 2060 patients diagnosed with breast cancer in our department over this 12-year period.
