Summary

This study looks at whether doing shoulder exercises before a mastectomy can lower inflammation, reduce pain, and improve shoulder function and quality of life in women with advanced breast cancer. Half of the 52 participants will do structured shoulder exercises for 6-8 weeks before surgery, while the other half will receive standard care. The main goal is to see if the exercises affect levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation, after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
preoperative shoulder range-of-motion exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple exercise program could help reduce pain and improve shoulder function and quality of life after breast cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises may not significantly change outcomes compared to standard care.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with clinically locally advanced breast cancer (stage IIIA-IIIC according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system) who have been scheduled to undergo modified radical mastectomy. * Age ≥ 18 years at the time of diagnosis * Willing to undergo preoperative rehabilitation for 6-8 weeks and to perform the recommended home-based exercise program. * Willing to participate in follow-up via telephone. Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to understand verbal or written communication, resulting in difficulty following exercise instructions. * Intraoperative complications, such as injury to or transection of the thoracodorsal nerve, long thoracic nerve, and/or intercostobrachial nerve. * Postoperative complications leading to delayed wound healing, defined as incomplete wound healing at one month after surgery, including wound dehiscence, wound infection, or abscess formation. * Pre-existing shoulder joint motion limitation diagnosed prior to surgery (e.g., preoperative frozen shoulder). * Presence of inflammatory conditions in other body regions at the start of or during the study that may result in elevated leukocyte counts, such as diarrhea, urinary tract infection, or skin infection. * Requirement for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or systemic corticosteroids for the management of inflammation. Drop out criteria: * incomplete follow up * Unwillingness to undergo repeated blood sampling during the study period.
