Abstract
Women diagnosed with breast cancer, have seen a significant increase in life expectancy in recent years. However, many of these women are living with chronic complications resulting from treatment. The aim of this study is to characterize musculos- keletal complications (MC) in breast cancer survivors, and emphasize the need to develop preventive therapies for these complications. Methods - Ninety four women survivors of breast cancer answered a questionnaire about potential MC. Results - The association between age and lymphedema (p=0.004), arm pain (AP) (p=0.000), shoulder pain (SP) (p=0.004), difficulty in raising the arm (DRA) ( p=0.022) and neck pain (NP) (p=0.000) sho- wed a higher incidence in women over 50 years. Women whith lymphadenectomy sho- wed higher incidence of lymphedema (p=0.000), AP (p=0.000), SP (p=0.008). Regarding survival, it was found that women over 10 years of survival have more MC. Mastectomi- zed women are more likely to have lymphedema (p=0.012), AP (p=0.020), SP (p=0.003), DRA (p=0.037) and NP. Conclusion - In our study women over 50 years, women with lymphadenectomy and with over 10 years of survival after treatment of breast cancer and
