%X The surgical treatment of breast cancer can change patients¡¯ physical ap- pearance and lead to important physical sequelae. Therefore, in order to ascertain whether the level of satisfaction with the aesthetic outcome, as well as with regard to self-esteem or the body image in these patients, dif- fers depending on the kind of surgery undergone (unilateral mastectomy or breast reconstruction), a total of 72 patients were studied. To this end, a Psychosocial Survey, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem (RSE) Scale, the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-BR23), and the Test for the Measure- ment of Body Satisfaction were used. In general, patients who underwent reconstruction showed a higher degree of aesthetic satisfaction, as well as greater self-esteem and a lower degree of dissatisfaction regarding their body image.El tratamiento quir¨²rgico del c¨¢ncer de mama puede alterar el aspecto f¨ªsico de las pacientes y producirles importantes secuelas psicol¨®gicas.

Para ello se emple¨® una Encuesta Psicosocial, la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (EAR), el Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida de la EORTC (QLQ-BR23), y el Test de Medici¨®n del Grado de Satisfacci¨®n Corporal. En general, las pacientes reconstruidas mostraron una mayor satisfacci¨®n est¨¦tica, as¨ª como una mayor autoestima y un menor deterioro de su imagen corporal.
