Abstract
Wound seroma is one of the most frequent complications of mastectomy, but an effective strategy Tor its prevention has not yet been established. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of delayed shoulder exercise on the prevention of wound seroma after partial or total mastectomy with axillary dissection for the treatment of cancer.Keywords
