BACKGROUND: Upper-extremity morbidity after breast cancer surgery-including pain, lymphedema, and restricted shoulder range of motion-often develops gradually, emerging months after treatment and limiting daily activities. We aimed to characterize morbidity trajectories, physical therapy utilization, and predictors of physical therapy use.
METHODS: A retrospective multicenter cohort included 1602 women treated with breast surgery 0-36 months earlier. Patient-reported outcomes included Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH), pain, range of motion limitation, axillary web syndrome, and lymphedema. Clinical variables included surgery type and nodal procedure. Outcomes were summarized across four postoperative windows (0-6, 7-12, 13-24, 25-36 months). Logistic and multinomial regression identified predictors of physical therapy uptake and timing (early, ≤3 months vs. late, >3 months; No physical therapy).
RESULTS: Anxiety declined across postoperative windows (p < 0.001), and axillary web syndrome decreased from early to later periods (p < 0.001). In contrast, range of motion restriction and decreased function remained common without significant differences between windows (p = 0.145 and p = 0.273). Pain was generally low-to-moderate by median [interquartile range], with a modest rise at 7-12 months (p < 0.001). In adjusted multinomial models (reference: Early physical therapy ≤ 3 months), higher pain was associated with No physical therapy and Late physical therapy (both p < 0.05); lymphedema with No PT and Late physical therapy (both p < 0.05); and axillary web syndrome with Late physical therapy (p = 0.001). Other symptoms (range of motion, function level, anxiety and physical activity) were not independently associated with physical therapy timing.
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term postoperative morbidity is common. Early assessment and structured follow-up can mitigate its impact and should be embedded as core elements of survivorship health-promotion policy.
