The disablement process model proposed by Nagi in 1965 and subsequently expanded by Verbrugge and Jette was used heuristically to study the relationships among morbidities and arm/shoulder function limitations that breast cancer survivors experience in the period following treatment. A telephone
BACKGROUND
Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is often associated with permanent arm side effects. Side effects after sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND) should be less common, because the surgery is less extensive.
METHODS
The study compared side effects and interference with daily life
OBJECTIVE
This article is a report of a review of the effectiveness of exercise programmes on shoulder mobility and lymphoedema in postoperative patients with breast cancer having axillary lymph node dissection, as revealed by randomized controlled trials.
BACKGROUND
Breast cancer is the most common
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) results from damage to or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves. The development of CIPN is anticipated for the majority of breast cancer patients who receive neurotoxic chemotherapy, depending on the agent used, dose, and schedule. Sensory symptoms
OBJECTIVE
To describe the impairments of upper body and limbs, activity limitations and participation restrictions 6 and 12 months after operation for breast cancer and to examine the impact of impairments on activity limitations.
METHODS
A prospective survey 6 and 12 months after
OBJECTIVE
To determine the magnitude of arm symptom-associated distress and quality of life in patients suffering from lymphedema after axillary dissection for breast cancer.
METHODS
Two hundred and two breast cancer patients were interviewed, including 101 lymphedema cases and 101 controls who were
BACKGROUND
Approximately 30% of the women report pain in the affected breast before breast cancer surgery.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this secondary analysis of our prospective study was to determine how women who experienced both preoperative and persistent postsurgical breast pain (n=107) differed
BACKGROUND
Few epidemiological studies have prospectively investigated preoperative and surgical risk factors for acute postoperative pain after surgery for breast cancer. We investigated demographic, psychological, pain-related and surgical risk factors in women undergoing resectional surgery for
Population-based women (n=1049) with breast cancer diagnosed mainly between 1996 and 1998, when aged 20-59 years, were mailed a questionnaire seeking information about self-reported shoulder stiffness and swelling, numbness and pain/ache in the arm following treatment (excluding 6 months from
The purpose of this longitudinal study was to explore changes in symptom distress in newly diagnosed Taiwanese breast cancer patients during the initial 4-week postoperative period. The research instruments, including a demographic questionnaire and the Symptom Distress Scale, were used to obtain
OBJECTIVE
To describe the history of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), review the current scientific literature comparing the benefits and shortcomings of SLNB with traditional axillary lymph node dissection, and describe the nursing role that should be employed when instructing patients who are
BACKGROUND
In patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer, diagnosed with palpation and several types of imaging examination, sentinel lymph nodes accurately predict the status of the other axillary nodes, which determine the nature of subsequent adjuvant treatment. In addition, compared
Cancer and chemotherapy individually confer hypercoagulability and increased risks of thrombosis. Most thromboembolic complication after breast cancer chemotherapy was venous thrombosis after multiagent chemotherapy. Arterial thrombosis is extremely rare in early breast cancer patients BACKGROUND
Axillary lymph node dissection is an important procedure in the surgical treatment of breast cancer. Axillary lymph node dissection is still performed in over half of breast cancer patients having histologically negative nodes, regardless of the morbidity in terms of axillary pain,
OBJECTIVE
Polyamines are ubiquitous intracellular polycationic molecules essential for cell growth and differentiation. Polyamine analogs down-regulate ornithine decarboxylase, induce spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase, deplete natural polyamine pools, inhibit growth, and induce programmed
