INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer, and the most common cause of death from cancer, in women worldwide. Despite the advancement of treatment, there are still many associated complications. OBJECTIVE: to analyze the influence of social, demographic factors, screening procedures and population coverage of primary care on breast cancer mortality in Brazil, and to verify the effect of physical therapy on clinical symptoms and range of motion in women undergoing mastectomy with axillary lymphadenectomy, after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. METHOD: Available and open access secondary data from the SUS Information and Informatics Department, SIDRA (IBGE Automatic Recovery System) and eGestor AB (Primary Care Information and Management) were analyzed. The medical records of 25 women (mean age 55 ± 14 years) after surgical treatment of mastectomy with axillary lymphadenectomy for the diagnosis of breast cancer were also analyzed. The signs and symptoms evaluated were pain, tenderness, phantom breast syndrome, heavy and swollen arm, lymphedema and axillary web syndrome. The range of motion of flexion, abduction, internal rotation and external rotation of the glenohumeral joint was also assessed. RESULTS: It was observed that the mortality rate is higher in brown women; in the Southeast and South regions; and it grows with increasing age. The North region has lower mortality and lower survival. The mortality rate did not decrease with the increase in the coverage of primary health care coverage and the number of biopsy procedures. However, the rate decreased with the increased execution of cytopathological analysis. In addition, physical therapy contributed to the reduction of pain resulting from the clinical-surgical treatment of breast cancer, and promoted an increase in the range of motion of the glenohumeral joint. CONCLUSION: The coverage of health services and the number of screening procedures are not correlated with the breast cancer mortality rate and physical therapy contributes to the improvement of pain and range of motion.
