Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, with an incidence rate of up to 16%. Although survival can be improved with early diagnosis and more effective therapies, physical complications such as lymphedema, upper extremity dysfunction and chronic pain are common during and/or after breast cancer treatments. In addition, lymphedema can cause symptoms such as decreased muscle strength and range of motion of the upper extremity, pain and fatigue, resulting in activity limitations and decreased functional level of the upper extremity.
