Breast cancer is the most common neoplasm in occidental women, yet very little information is available about the rehabilitation needs of these patients. This report reviews in detail the physical, psychological, social, and financial problems identified by fifty women during the first month after primary surgical treatment. The most frequently reported problems were physical and psychological. Patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy (MRM) are compared with patients receiving segmental mastectomy and primary radiotherapy (SM). There were few differences between the two surgical treatment groups; however, patients in the MRM group reported more difficulty with clothing and body image, while the SM group had more disruption of recreation and social activities. Information about the rehabilitation problems of patients with this common neoplasm should be helpful to patients and to the members of the health care team who are helping them recover.
乳腺癌是西方女性中最常见的肿瘤，但关于这些患者的康复需求，可获取的信息却非常少。本报告详细回顾了五十名女性在初次手术治疗后的第一个月内所发现的身体、心理、社会和经济问题。最常报告的问题是身体和心理方面的。对接受改良根治性乳房切除术（MRM）的患者与接受乳房部分切除术和原发性放射治疗（SM）的患者进行了比较。两个手术治疗组之间几乎没有差异；然而，MRM组的患者在着装和身体形象方面报告有更多困难，而SM组在娱乐和社交活动方面受到的干扰更多。有关这种常见肿瘤患者康复问题的信息，应对患者以及帮助他们康复的医疗团队成员有所帮助。
