Objective To investigate the factors of breast cancer patients who met breast-conserving conditions after neoadjuvant chemotherapy when choosing surgical mode.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted on 228 breast cancer patients who met breast-conserving conditions after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Chi square test, nonparametric rank sum test and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the factors affecting the choice of surgical mode.Results Univariate analysis showed that age, clinical stage, family history of cancer, molecular type, neoadjuvant chemotherapy effect, surgeon’s recommendation, chemotherapy side effects, and surgical complications were the factors affecting patient’s chose for breast-conserving surgery (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy [OR=0.312, 95%CI (0.255, 0.662), P<0.001] and the surgeon’s recommendation [OR=53.947, 95%CI (4.570, 6.239), P=0.002] were independent factors that affected the choice of surgery.Conclusions The decision of the surgical mode is a process in which doctors and patients participate together. Individualized neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves the remission rate and the progress of the surgeon’s comprehensive treatment strategy can play a role in improving the breast-conserving rate and the rate of breast-conserving success. Doctors should give positive guidance in accordance with the specific situation of the patient to make the best choice.
