    Abstract Objective: Evaluate patient adherence and satisfaction concerning postmastectomy compressive taping.
    Methods: This comprises a preintervention and postintervention study carried out with women ≥18 years old who underwent taping during the first 7 postoperative days at the Cancer Hospital III/National Cancer Institute. Good adherence was considered as taping maintenance for 7 days. Satisfaction levels were classified as satisfied and dissatisfied.
    Results: A total of 124 women with a mean age of 56.54 (±11.24) were included in the study. Most lived without a partner (58.1%), had more than 8 years of study (59.7%), referred to themselves as white (68.5%) and considered their health status to be good or very good (69.4%). Regarding treatment adherence, 90.3% patients displayed adherence. Patients with no bullous lesions were more likely to adhere to taping (OR 7.00; 95% CI 1.98 to 24.74; p=0.003). Regarding satisfaction, 78.2% of the patients felt satisfied. The absence of local discomfort (OR 4.51; 95% CI 1.73 to 11.74; p=0.002) and non-existence of self-reported oedema (OR 5.81; 95% CI 1.81 to 18, 66; p=0.003) were associated with greater patient satisfaction.
    Conclusion: Patients exhibited good adherence and felt very satisfied with the use of postmastectomy compressive taping.

    Abstract Background: Lymphedema is a common complication following breast cancer treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-adjusting compression garment (ReadyWrap®) in reducing (phase 1) and maintaining (phase 2) upper limb volume in women presenting breast cancer-related lymphedema.
    Methods: This study will comprise a randomized, controlled, single-blind clinical trial concerning women with breast cancer-related lymphedema undergoing treatment at a public cancer treatment reference hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The intervention will be carried out by adapting self-dressing versus the standard treatment of compressive bandaging (phase 1) and compressive mesh (phase 2). Both groups will be assessed at the beginning and end of intensive treatment and followed up for up to 12 months to evaluate immediate and late outcomes. Assessments will be carried out by physical upper limb examination (inspection, palpation, volume, dynamometry, and thermography) and questionnaires application to assess patient's quality of life pertaining to the health, functionality, and symptoms of the affected upper limb, as well adverse effects and adherence to treatment. Data will be analyzed descriptively and analytically through univariate and multiple linear regressions. P values < 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
    Discussion: This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a self-adjustable garment (ReadyWrap®) in the treatment of lymphedema secondary to breast cancer in Brazilian women compared to the gold standard treatment for limb volume reduction (phase 1) and maintenance (phase 2) phases comprising, respectively, a compressive bandaging and a compressive mesh. The outcome results will provide data based on both quantitative responses and self-reported participant outcomes. The study will also assess the cost-effectiveness of the ReadyWrap® treatment versus standard care. Finally, we expect to reaffirm one more product/therapy as a treatment for this extremely complex and impactful condition following the data analysis.

    Abstract Purpose: This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the influence of Mat Pilates and time on the change in fatigue scores in women with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). Additionally, assess the adherence and adverse effects of Mat Pilates sessions and the association of the level of physical activity with severe fatigue symptoms.
    Methods: One hundred fifty-six patients with non-metastatic breast cancer were randomized to usual care or supervised Mat Pilates exercise. Fatigue and physical activity level were measured at baseline, end of RT, 30 days, 3 and 6 months after RT. The generalized estimating equation (GEE) with intention to treat was applied.
    Results: A significant difference in the fatigue mean between the end of RT and the baseline was found in patients of both groups. There was no adverse effect with the practice of Mat Pilates, and it was analyzed the reduction of the symptom pain after the end of RT in women of intervention group compared to the control. There was no significant effect on fatigue between the groups. Patients with severe fatigue after 3 and 6 months of RT reported a significantly lower level of physical activity in the last periods.
    Conclusion: Fatigue levels increased at the end of RT but returned to baseline values after 6 months. A lower level of physical activity was associated with severe fatigue symptoms. Mat Pilates was safe for these women and reduced the symptom pain after treatment, but it did not successfully reduce fatigue during adjuvant RT.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the safety of compressive taping in patients with seroma secondary to breast cancer surgery.
    Methods: This study was a nonrandomized clinical study of medical devices applied to women indicated for seroma aspiration puncture after breast cancer surgery in a public reference hospital in Brazil. The intervention consisted of applying compressive taping over the seroma fluctuation area and maintained for 5 days. Evaluated outcomes comprised dermal changes caused by taping, subjective symptoms reported during the intervention period, and percent change in the punctured volume before and after the intervention.
    Results: A total of 35 women (mean age, 56.7 ± 12.2 years) were included. Most presented with an advanced disease stage (≥IIB; 62.9%). Although a 28.6% incidence of dermal changes caused by taping was observed, an average reduction in the aspirated volume of -28.2 mL was identified (95% confidence interval, -48.3 to -8.0; P = .008). Treatment adherence was high (91.4%), and most patients reported satisfaction with the treatment (85.7%).
    Conclusions: The use of compressive taping on seroma areas can be considered safe, is well accepted by patients, and might be used as a noninvasive treatment option for seroma developing after breast cancer surgery.

    Abstract Purpose: The goal of this study is to evaluate the influence of shoulder exercises with restricted amplitude movement (RAM) or free amplitude movement (FAM) performed from the first postoperative day (1st POD) on the incidence of surgical wound complications (SWC) in breast cancer.
    Methods: This study comprises a randomized clinical trial with an intention-to-treat analysis including 465 women aged 18 to 79, who underwent curative surgery for breast cancer. Participants were submitted to perform free amplitude movement (FAM) or restricted amplitude movement (RAM) shoulder exercises, until the 30th postoperative day. The outcome measures were the SWC: seroma, dehiscence, necrosis, infection, hematoma and bruise.
    Results: 461 participants completed the follow-up. Thirty days after surgery, 63.8% of the women presented some surgical wound complication, with necrosis (39.3%) and seroma (30.8%) as the most frequent. No statistically significant differences in SWC according to postoperative amplitude shoulder exercise (FAM vs RAM), even after a stratified analysis by type of surgery (segmentectomy vs mastectomy) or axillary approach (axillary lymphadenectomy versus sentinel lymph node biopsy) were observed.
    Conclusion: FAM exercises do not increase the incidence of postoperative wound complications compared to RAM exercises.

    Title translation Frequency and associated factors of phantom breast syndrome in women submitted to mastectomy for breast cancer.
    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the frequency and risk factors for the development of phantom breast syndrome in patients submitted to mastectomy after breast cancer treatment.
    Methods: A cohort study of women undergoing treatment at the Hospital of Cancer III, National Cancer Institute José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA) from September 2008 to June 2009. PBS was considered based on report of phantom breast sensation and/or phantom breast pain. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the INCA (015/08). Descriptive analysis using absolute and relative frequency was performed. To evaluate the association between PBS and potential risk factors, univariate analysis was performed by means of odds ratios (OR) with respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI).
    Results: A total of 88 patients were included. The frequency of PBS observed was 44.3 at 45 days (first follow-up) and 18.2% at 2 years (last follow-up). Most women reported phantom breast syndrome in all segments (37.1; 30.1 and 22%). During the six month follow-up, women under the age of 60 years had a 3.93 times higher risk of PBS (OR=3.9; 95%CI 1.4-10.5) and those with higher education (8 years or more of study) had a higher risk of developing PBS (OR=2.6; 95%CI 1.01-6.8).
    Conclusion: The study population had a high frequency of PBS, which decreased over postoperative follow-up. Its occurrence after six months was higher among younger and more educated women.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of Kinesio Taping (KT) in patients with arm lymphedema.
    Method: Medical device clinical study in women with arm lymphedema. Kinesio Tex Gold bandage was applied by the KT technique. Assessments and interviews were carried out both at the beginning and 4 days after intervention. Skin disorders, reported tolerance and modification of limb volume and function after intervention were assessed. Changes in limb volume and functionality before and after intervention were compared by the Student's t test and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, considering significant p value <0.05.
    Results: Twenty-four women were studied. After intervention, no patient had cutaneous lesions, vesicle or limb hyperthermia, and 4.2% presented skin peeling and redness. Most patients reported no change in social life and that they felt safer in the daily activity and were very pleased with the treatment. The patients presented improvement of upper limb functionality after intervention (p < 0.001). No difference of limb volume was found after intervention (p = 0.639).
    Conclusions: Kinesio Tex Gold bandage by the KT technique proved to be safe and tolerable in patients with lymphedema, with improved functionality and no change of the affected limb volume.
