Rehabilitation of Cancer Patients аfter Surgical and Combined Treatment for Breast Cancer

Abstract

Radical surgical treatment, adjuvant chemotherapy and postoperative radiation therapy, used in the complex and combined treatment of breast cancer, inevitably lead to serious functional and psychosomatic disorders. One of the most common complications of breast cancer treatment is postmastectomy syndrome (PMES). That is why the study of the latter and the development of modern methods of rehabilitation of patients with an established diagnosis of PMES remain extremely relevant. To date, the pathogenetic mechanism of the development of upper limb edema and a huge range of possible methods of prevention and treatment have been described in detail. However, the choice of a rehabilitation method requires a personalized approach based on a specific clinical case, and special attention to the psychoemotional status of the patient.
