Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aims to describe the different programs for the prevention of sequels of axillary lymphadenectomy in patients with breast cancer in four Spanish hospitals, to determine the degree of compliance of these programs and to register the frecuency of lymphedema and limitation of mobility of the upper limb in breast cancer patients undergoing axillary lymphadenectomy between 2014 and 2016 in the four hospitals.
