Upper Extremity Aerobic Exercise Training Program
What this trial is about
The aim of this study was to evaluate vascular toxicity induced by anthracyclines and other anticancer drugs and to measure arterial stiffness in women with breast cancer and, in addition, to evaluate the acute and chronic arterial stiffness responses of upper extremity aerobic exercise training.
