Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The patients’ pulmonary function was evaluated immediately before they were submitted to radiotherapy, using clinical instruments, such as incentive spirometers, manuvacuometer, peak flow, and six minute walk test. Each patient was assessed once only and the duration of the evaluation was thirty minutes.

Summary
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to transversally detect, by means of routinely used physiotherapeutic instruments and a functional test, alterations in pulmonary functions due to the systemic treatments pre-radiotherapy in breast cancer treatment. Women submitted to breast cancer systemic treatments show a decrease in pulmonary function, which impairs their respiratory conditions pre-radiotherapy.
