Modified radical mastectomy is an important approach for treating breast cancer
but the risk of postoperative incision infection rate is relatively high
which can seriously affect the treatment outcome and prognosis of these patients. This study aimed to investigate the etiological characteristics
related risk factors and changes of serum inflammatory factors such as procalcitonin (PCT)
C reactive protein (CRP)
tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.
Methods:
The clinical data of breast cancer patients admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Zhengzhou from February 2019 to February 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. The pathogenic bacteria distribution and related risk factors of postoperative incision infection and the changes of serum inflammatory factors such as PCT
CRP
TNF-α and IL-6 were explored. This study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Third People's Hospital of Zhengzhou (No.: 2025-04-014-K01) and acquired the informed consent. The St
rengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist was followed for this case control study.
Results:
A total of 128 patients were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent modified radical mastectomy were divided into infected group (
n
=22) and non-infected group (
n
=106) according to whether incision infection occurred after surgery. The incision infection rate after modified radical mastectomy was 17.19% (22/128). Twenty-six strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated and cultured from 22 patients with postoperative incision infection. Among these
16 strains were Gram-positive
accounting for 61.54% (16/26)
mainly
staphylococcus aureus
and
enterococcus faecalis
. There were 10 Gram-negative strains
accounting for 38.46% (10/26)
mainly
escherichia coli
and
pseudomonas aeruginosa
. The influencing factors of incision infection after modified radical mastectomy included preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy
intraoperative blood loss ≥300 mL
postoperative drainage volume ≥800 mL
drainage time ≥7 d
albumin
<
35 g/L
and white blood cell count
<
4×10
9
/L (
P
<
0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy
blood loss ≥300 mL
postoperative drainage volume ≥800 mL
duration of drainage time ≥7 d
albumin
<
35 g/L and white blood cell count
<
4×10
9
/L were the independent influencing factors of incision infection after modified radical mastectomy (
P
<
0.05). The peripheral blood levels of PCT
CRP
TNF-α and IL-6 in both groups increased compared with those before surgery
and those in the infected group were higher than those in the non-infected group (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion:
staphylococcus aureus
and
escherichia coli
were the main pathogens after modified radical breast mastect
omy. Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy
blood loss ≥300 mL
postoperative drainage volume ≥800 mL
drainage time ≥7 d
albumin
<
35 g/L and white blood cell count
<
4×10
9
/L were the independent influencing factors. The levels of serum PCT
CRP
TNF-α and IL-6 could be used as effective indicators to predict postoperative incision infection.
