Journal Title: Revista Eugenio Espejo - Year 2021, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
This research aimed to describe the physiotherapeutic treatment in this research context. A study was carried out with a quantitative design, of a descriptive observational type. The study population consisted of 142 female patients, diagnosed with breast cancer at the Solca-Chimborazo Oncology Unit, during the period 2014-2019. The data were collected from the respective medical records. Since 2015, a predominance of adult patients aged between 36 and 65 years was observed. From the 142 patients that made up the study population, only 5 developed postsurgical lymphedema. Most of the patients included in the study underwent surgery (65); 59 received manual lymphatic drainage treatment. Among the population chosen in the Solca-Chimborazo Oncology Unit, it was evidenced that the application of rehabilitation therapy through postoperative manual lymphatic drainage reduces the possibility of long-term lymphedema development.
