Survey for breast cancer survivors following mastectomy

About the Study

The University of Central Florida researchers invite people diagnosed with breast cancer to take this survey to share their thoughts about how breast cancer surgery can impact mental health and wellness. The researchers will also explore how breast cancer survivors view breast cancer surgery and medical tattooing following. Participation includes an optional information session and consultation with a medical tattoo artist. This study aims to provide further evidence to indicate medical tattooing as a cosmetic intervention following mastectomy. Click here to take the survey.
