Abstract
The purpose of the above study was to evaluate the quality of life and the type of late postoperative complications in women after breast cancer surgery. The research group consisted of 30 women who underwent treatment for breast cancer. The women were members of the “Amazons” Post-Mastectomy Women’s Club in Tarnów (50%) and in Kraków (50%). The questionnaire dealt with the quality of life and health and was based on the EORTC QLQ-30 questionnaire. The examination chart determined the range of active movement in the joints of the shoulder girdle, limb circumference, potential contracture of the pectoral muscles, measurement of muscle strength and hand strength. The quality of life in the examined women who underwent mastectomy did not change dramatically. In the research group, the range of movement in the shoulder joint on the side of the operated breast became limited in all directions and similarly, the strength of the analyzed muscles decreased. The upper limb lymphoedema was registered in half of the examined women. Pain and sleep disorders were the two postoperative complications that most strongly affected the quality of life in post-mastectomy women.
