title: [Rehabilitation after breast cancer surgery].
abstract: The short- and long-term benefits of post-discharge physiotherapy regimens after breast cancer surgery are debatable. A national survey in Denmark performed at hospitals and municipal rehabilitation clinics showed considerable variability in post-breast surgery rehabilitation regimens. As hospital stay duration has decreased substantially, the need for post-discharge physiotherapy may also have changed. Thus, the indication for and type of rehabilitation programmes need to be evaluated.
