Our results showed a wide application of mastectomy in China and uncovered the factors associated with mastectomy uptake from a single-centre experience. Findings suggested the potential overuse of mastectomy among women with early-stage breast cancer, and highlighted the significance of promoting cancer screening in China. Findings could be also used to develop relevant provisions and interventions to facilitate breast cancer treatment decision-making and screening planning.<br />.
