- Abstract
Breast cancer is the oncologic pathology with the highest incidence rate among women in Romania. These incidence rates have increased in most countries of the world over the last decades, most rapidly in developing countries, and are expected to increase even further. However, the mortality rate has stagnated at 60-70% over the past 20 years. Globally, this pathology ranks number 1 among the causes of cancer deaths in women and number 5 overall. It is compulsory that the malignity of the pathology is established prior to treatment in order for discussions regarding the tests required for establishing the pretreatment and therapy alternatives to be possible. Similarly to other therapy options (surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, etc.), medical rehabilitation plays an important role in establishing the patient's body function and quality of life.
