CINDERELLA
Country: Portugal

The side effects of breast cancer treatment remain a serious problem for women who undergo surgery, in fact, although breast cancer surgery has improved, still in 30% of cases the aesthetic results are poor. Aesthetic results are important not only because of its role in breast cancer patients, but also because it can measure performance in breast units. However, there is no reproducible and easy method for this assessment. The main reasons are the lack of information of patients about the aesthetic outcome and also the influence of personal factors. The goal of Cinderella is to create a better tool for aesthetic evaluation, through the correct information and preparation of the patient.
