Physiotherapeutic approach in a patient with breast carcinoma – A case report

Abstract

Breast carcinoma is one of the most serious illnesses in females and a significant because of mortality and morbidity. A variety of treatment programs has now been developed to help with the restoration of shoulder movement while also lowering the occurrence of subsequent lymphedema.Modified radical mastectomy has several advantages, including local cancer management and a lower chance of cancer recurrence, as well as the preservation of the chest muscles, which prevents deformity and allows patients to undergo breast reconstruction. Lymphedema can cause cosmetic issues, functional difficulties, and psychological anguish in breast cancer patients, all of which can reduce the quality of life. Females who receive quick breast reconstruction have a lower risk of depression and have a higher standard of life. For females who have had breast cancer, physiotherapy can assist to reduce pain, restore shoulder mobility, and enhance the quality of life.

Robotic mastectomy versus open mastectomy in patients with or at high risk of breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The most common procedures include mastectomy as well as breast-conserving surgery. Breast reconstruction may be performed concomitantly with mastectomy (Hartmann-Johnsen et al, 2015; Van-Maaren et al, 2016;Bhojwani et al, 2022). Patients with a high risk of hereditary breast cancer are candidates for bilateral prophylactic mastectomy (Casella et al, 2018).…”
