Abstract:
The morbidity of breast cancer is high. Fortunately, long-term survival rate is optimistic after breast cancer treatments. How-ever, a number of impairments commonly result from the treatments of breast cancer. These include axillary web syndrome, lymphedema, cancer-related fatigue, post-mastectomy pain syndrome, and sleep dysfunction, etc. Rehabilitation interventions, such as manual therapy, comprehensive decongestive therapy, aerobic exercises, may help the breast cancer survivors cope with these impairments and improve their quality of life.
