Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most common neoplasms among women and its surgical treatment often results in functional complications such as pain, lymphedema and mobility restriction. The review highlighted the need for integrated rehabilitation approaches, including physiotherapy and psychological support, to improve patients' quality of life after surgery. The study highlights the importance of proper management of sequelae to optimize the recovery and well-being of affected women.
