This study aims to identify, in the current literature, the main repercussions caused by mastectomy in women's lives. This is an integrative review carried out in the second half of 2020 on the basis of the Virtual Health Library. Original articles were included, in Portuguese, with full text available and published between the years 2015 to 2020, totaling a sample of 17 articles. As the main repercussions caused by mastectomy for the daily lives of women, the reduction in aspects of quality of life, sexuality, self-esteem and in the fight against cancer can be mentioned. It was possible to understand, through the analyzed studies, that the performance of mastectomy has repercussions that go beyond the physical and physiological sense of the person; their image as a member of a society is also affected, thus lacking concrete interventions. It was then found that the nurse must be aware of the patient's physical, mental and social well-being so that they can provide quality care.
