Abstract

We describe the methods of patient evaluation and rehabilitation after surgery for breast cancer, along with our research findings. Patient quality of life (QOL), depression or anxiety, functional ability of the upper limbs, muscle strength, axillary web syndrome (AWS), and pain need to be evaluated after breast cancer surgery. Both preoperative and postoperative rehabilitation is required for the most effective rehabilitation of breast cancer patients postoperatively. Our research has clarified the factors that affect the postoperative QOL in breast cancer patients: psychological problems, range of motion, AWS, lymphedema, return to work, and participation in leisure activities.
