Core Tip

Core Tip: Surgery is currently the treatment of choice for breast cancer. Long-term rehabilitation exercises are necessary after surgery due to surgical trauma. At the same time, surgery alters breast structure, increases the patient's psychological stress response, and makes them prone to negative emotions, affecting quality of life and adherence to recovery. Therefore, there is a need to find a care model that improves the negative emotions and quality of life of patients and promotes their recovery.
