These carcinomas can affect breast ductal tissues and axillary lymph nodes, leading to malignancy. Treatment is based on the staging of the carcinoma and the client's hormonal sensitivity. Treatments usually include a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapies, and hormonal drugs. Clients become deconditioned due to the disease process and treatment programs that produce persistent fatigue and decreased tolerance to physical activities.1,2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - fadavispt.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1133951364 ER -
