• Objective： The aim of this study was to observe the physical training influence on the limbs of postoperative breast cancer patients with adjuvant chemotherapy and do dual-response quality of life （QOL） according to clinical characteristics of patients. Methods： from February 2007 to December 2008, 169 patients with postoperative breast cancer were included. We put all the patients into two groups randomly, including 80 patients in the treatment group and 89 patients in the control group. When the cycle of chemotherapy has been completed or on the 28th day postoperatively, all the patients need to be measured the function of upper limbs. The patients in the treatment group perform the rehabilitative training by our rehabilitation gymnastics, and the patients in the control group perform the rehabilitative training by themselves. When 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy have been completed, we evaluated the differences of the function of upper limbs in patients. At the same time, we hand out the QOL questionnaire to patients and their doctors for doing the two-way assessment. Results： Compared with patients in control group, patients in treatment group have better in the abductive angle of shoulders and myodynamia （P = 0.000）. By analysis on 156 （92.3%） questionnaires, we found that the match rate of doctors and patients with physiological functions and physical symptoms were better than mentation and relationships. The better match rate between doctors and patients in QOL questionnaires suggested that the QOL of patients would be improved in the higher rate. Conclusion： Exercising the function of limbs in early could be beneficial to the patients with postoperative breast cancer and effectively improve patient＇s QOL. Meanwhile, we put doctors＇ questionnaires in the assessment of patients＇ QOL, and the results show that the assessment of patients＇ QOL is more objective and complete.
