Background: Breast cancer (BC) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and the most common malignancy in women worldwide. The rehabilitation model presents opportunities for intervention throughout the disease continuum phases. Aims: To present the results of the �Multidisciplinary Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Programme� at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Australia. Methods: This presentation will outline studies aimed at clinical management of rehabilitation issues in BC survivors such as pain, lymphoedema etc.; improve service provision and factors predicting clinical outcomes over longer-term following definitive treatment. Problems in conducting robust clinical trials and translation will be discussed. These include systemic reviews for evidence synthesis, randomized controlled trials and other study designs in BC rehabilitation programmes, value of observational studies, clinical practice improvement programs, individualized goal attainment processes and issues of outcome measurement. Results of, systematic reviews and RCT for efficacy of multidisciplinary rehabilitation input; factors impacting long-term outcomes; psychosocial outcomes & supportive care needs in persons with BC within the Australian settings; and Australian data comparison with the BC ICF Core set, will be presented. Conclusion: Findings from this research programme will be relevant to multidisciplinary teams caring for patients with complex disabilities and guide evidence based practice.
