The Effect of Upper Extremity Aerobic Exercise Training on Arterial Stiffness in Individuals With Breast Cancer
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.
