Most ovarian tumors are not detected until they are in an advanced stage and have metastasized as they produce only vague and nonspecific symptoms. Treatment usually involves a total hysterectomy and lymphadendectomy followed with chemotherapy. Clients who participate in the recommended levels of physical activities experience fewer complications related to the treatment of ovarian cancer.1 Clients become deconditioned due to the disease process and treatment programs that produce persistent fatigue and decreased tolerance to physical activities. Many clients who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer are older, have a history of high dietary fat intake, and lead a sedentary lifestyle.2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/09 UR - fadavispt.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1133951489 ER -
