Memorial Hospital, New York City, clinical section of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, has developed a Post-Mastectomy Rehabilitation Group (PMRG) which provides a comprehensive structure program to enable the mastectomy patient to regain functional use of her arm and shoulder on the affected side, and to adapt functionally, psychologically, and emotionally to the loss of her breast and the diagnosis of cancer in the shortest time possible. This first segment of an evaluation of the program outlines the PMRG structure and operating procedures and presents basic demographic data (age, type of mastectomy, preoperative activity status) for 863 of the 1,400 mastectomy patients who attended the program since inception in 1970. Additional reports will focus on the physical and psychologic aspects of recovery and readjustment.
纽约市纪念医院是纪念斯隆凯特琳癌症中心的临床科室，它设立了乳房切除术后康复小组（PMRG），该小组提供一套全面的结构化方案，使乳房切除患者能够恢复患侧手臂和肩部的功能使用，并在尽可能短的时间内从功能、心理和情感上适应乳房缺失以及癌症诊断。对该方案评估的第一部分概述了PMRG的结构和操作程序，并给出了自1970年该方案启动以来参加的1400名乳房切除患者中863名患者的基本人口统计学数据（年龄、乳房切除术类型、术前活动状况）。后续报告将聚焦于康复和重新调整的身体及心理方面。
