Do you know how important it is to have a #physicaltherapist be part of your #breastcancer team? #lymphedema #pain

I'm proud to announce that I successfully defended my PhD @ the #UniversityofMinnesota examining the long term effects of adjuvant #radiation in #breastcancer survivors after 20 years of working with these patients - trying to better understand why shoulder problems are common.

[Minnesota Rehabilitation Biomechanics Lab @MNRehabBiomech]

Congratulations to Dr. Renata Braudy @RBraudyPT on a successful defense of their project “Postoperative Radiotherapy Breast Cancer Treatment: Musculoskeletal and Functional Implications.”

This is a gut punch to so many of us😞
Invest in yourself.

@REACHBC_ Looking forward to seeing the results!

[Renata Braudy @RBraudyPT]

@denniskeim Definitely a great idea to get skilled PT- and definitely not too late. I’ve treated breast cancer patients & survivors for 20 years- from before surgery to 24 years afterwards… benefits are possible at all stages. Keep up the good work!

[Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise @MSSEonline]

Rasmussen and colleagues investigated the effect of resistance training (RT) on pain, maximal strength, and shoulder function in breast cancer survivors (BCS) with persistent pain after treatment. Read their publication here: https://t.co/qA0fvK1Z9J

[Houston Methodist MD @HMethodistMD]

Can recurrence scores predict which early-stage breast cancer patients need radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery? A Houston Methodist study is the first to establish radiotherapy treatment guidelines based on the test, previously only used as a chemotherapy guide.

That feeling you get when you schedule your last dissertation data collection….

Welcome to the #MCCSymposium! Our BJ Kennedy Keynote speaker Dr. Laura Esserman from @UCSFCancer, @UCSF is presenting now, with a full two days of sharing and learning on the agenda. #umncancer

[Foundation4PT @Foundation4PT]

Thank you for sharing this work for #PTResearchMadness! Braudy's 2021 scholarship to learn more about what will help #breastcancer survivors was made possible through our lead partner @APTAtweets

[Renata Braudy @RBraudyPT]

What is the relationship between shoulder dysfunction and axillary web syndrome (AWS) in #breastcancer survivors? Decreased scapula upward rotation 5 years postoperatively (submitted for publishing) may be to blame. #PTResearchMadness @UMN_PT @MN_Rehab_Biomech #cancerrehab #QOL

[PTJ: Journal of APTA @PTJournal]

Much to ♥️ about this paper!

"PTs provide valuable interventions across the spectrum of cancer care but experience barriers to the delivery and development of services"

Investment in oncology physical therapy is needed to meet these needs!

@drchrysopoulo @DiepFlapBreast @BreastAdvocate Interesting-I appreciate the answer. I have worked with many women over the years and agree that lower grades can respond w/ increased chest wall mobility & some improvement in pliability. Grade 4 however was almost always a PT trial w/subsequent referral back to surgeon.

[Renata Braudy @RBraudyPT]

@notMarkSanchez9 Too true. Same story after surgery +/- radiation for breast cancer, melanoma, etc. Our bodies function as intricate systems… change 1 lever arm and it can impact movement down the chain.

[Renata Braudy @RBraudyPT]

Proud to achieve PhD candidacy…. Here’s to progressing and optimizing cancer survivorship. #breastcancer #rehab #radonc #shoulder #umnproud

[Renata Braudy @RBraudyPT]

Written exams…. Passed! Thx to MRBL for all the support. Here’s to advancing #cancercare #CancerResearch #QOL

[Minnesota Rehabilitation Biomechanics Lab @MNRehabBiomech]

Congratulations to @RBraudyPT on successfully passing her preliminary written exams! Renata is studying the effects of radiation and surgery on shoulder pain, biomechanics, and function to improve QoL in breast cancer survivors.
