Abstract

Multimodality treatment in patients with breast cancer, alike the disease progression process, results in numerous side effects that significantly affect the quality of everyday life. Studies have shown a correlation between the quality of life and survival rates. To prevent or maximally reduce these effects rehabilitation care should be considered to be part of the treatment protocol for breast cancer.
