Abstract: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. It is estimated that there are more than 2 million cases in the world. The mortality rate of breast cancer is the highest, accounting for nearly 1/4 of the incidence of female malignant tumors. Breast cancer surgery can effectively improve the overall survival rate of patients, improve the quality of life of patients, and play a good preventive effect on breast cancer recurrence and metastasis. However, after surgery, radiation or chemotherapy, patients after breast cancer surgery may experience a variety of complex physical and psychological complications, including pain, cancer-related fatigue, depression, insomnia, and upper limb lymphedema and limited shoulder activity, which have a significant negative impact on their physical health and quality of life. Qigong involves a wide range of diseases. Through a series of actions, qigong can significantly improve patients’ range of motion of shoulder joints, reduce lymphedema of affected limbs, improve sleep problems, and regulate emotions. It has a good effect on improving postoperative symptoms of breast cancer patients.
