Breast Cancer, Mastectomy, Seroma
Conditions
Brief summary
This study evaluates the impact of local compression by chest bandage on the number of seroma punctures in patients treated by mastectomy with or without lymphadectomy. Half of the participants will have local compression by chest bandage in addition to seroma punctures while the other half will only have punctures.
Detailed description
The most common complication induced by mastectomy is seroma formation. This seroma is a serolymphatic effusion that is created in the days following surgery. Iterative puncture is the only treatment for seroma mentioned in the literature. A retrospective study in the investigator's establishment on 1800 patients determined that a second puncture greater than 250ml is predictive of a chronicisation of punctures. The research hypothesis is that by applying local compression by chest bandaging with the Urgo® K2 kit, the dead space created by surgery would be removed. This would help resorb the seroma and reduce the number of punctures.
Interventions
DEVICECompression by chest bandage urgo K2®
1. \- Installation of a short stretch belt (urgo K2® kit) 2. \- Installation of a long stretch cohesive band providing additional pressure necessary to reach therapeutic pressure and maintain the device (urgo K2® kit). 3. \- Control of the pressure exerted by the bandage by the KIKUHIME® Sub Bandge pressure Monitor device
PROCEDUREpunctures
Every 7 days after the second puncture of a volume \> 250ml of seroma, the patients are examined by 2 practitioners. They define the indication of the puncture. The seroma is aspirated after a skin puncture with a needle connected with a Redon® drain.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of puncture(s) after inclusion in both patient groups | 180 days | In each group, we will count the number of punctures performed after the 2nd puncture with a volume \> 250ml (inclusion). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| comparison of the average change Pain scores between each arm | 180 days | 1. Numerical rating scale for pain (EN) The EN evaluates levels of pain intensity using an 10-point scale (range 0-10), with 0 being classified as no sensation, 3 pain threshold, 10 pain as bad as could be.(at each visit), 2. Neuropathic Pain (DN4) (inclusion and study exit) |
| The time required to take charge of adjuvant treatments | 180 days | Deferral of adjuvant therapy related to seroma: Treatment regimen and adjuvant appointments will be collected at inclusion. Each deviation will be analyzed and attributed or not to the presence or complications of seroma. |
| Volume punctured after inclusion in both patient groups. | 180 days | For each new puncture, the volume of serolymphatic fluid will be measured and the time between two punctures analyzed |
| comparison of the average change anxiety scores between each arm | 180 days | Anxiety / depressions are assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (study inclusion and exit) |
| The aesthetic impact on the puncture site. | 180 days | The evaluation of the aesthetic impact on the puncture zone will be carried out by comparing the photographs taken at the inclusion, during the visit to the consultation at 10-15 days after the last puncture (for the standard arm) and at 10-15 days after the removal of the bandage device and finally during the consultation with the oncologist. |
| Validation of a score allowing the description of the seroma of grades 2 and the indication of a puncture | 180 days | Based on the observation grids carried out by the 2 professionals during a separate evaluation, we compare the 4 items defined to the indication chosen for the puncture as well as the volume of puncture when it is carried out. |
| comparison of the average change Quality of life scores between each arm | 180 days | Quality of life is assessed by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30, for the cancer in general and EORTC QLQ-BR23 specifically for the breast cancer (study inclusion and exit). The EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire, resulting in a score for the quality of life between 0 to 100. |
