Influence of some anthropometric parameters on the risk of development of distal complications after mastectomy carried out because of breast carcinoma

Article Abstract:

The usefulness of selected somatic traits (body weight and height) and selected indexes in predicting the risk of development of lymphoedema of the upper limb (LUL) in women subjected to radical surgical treatment because of breast cancer is determined. Women with high body mass, obesity, Quetelet, Rohrer, and Pignet-Verwaeck indexes are at greater risk of LUL after breast amputation than slim body build and low index values.
