We describe the impact of axillary dissection in a cohort of older women.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A longitudinal cohort of 571 patients with Stage 1 and 2 breast carcinoma, 67 years and older, diagnosed between 1995 and 1997 from 29 hospitals in five regions, and followed for 2 years. Data were collected from patients and medical charts. The primary outcome was posttreatment quality of life. Generalized estimation equation longitudinal modeling was used to evaluate the outcome, controlling for baseline function, comorbidity, age, clinical status, and other factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sixty percent of women reported arm problems at some time in the 2 years after surgery. The cumulative risk of having arm problems 2 years posttreatment was three times higher (95% confidence interval 1.94\u20134.67) for women who underwent axillary surgery compared with women without axillary surgery, controlling for covariates. The effects of having axillary dissection and arthritis were multiplicative 2 years postsurgery. Arm problems were, in turn, the primary determinate of lower physical and mental functioning (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0001 and 0.04, respectively), controlling for other factors.
