Our findings indicated that the incidence of AWS is high in breast cancer patients, particularly in the first month after surgery. Not all patients achieved recovery during our 8 week follow-up, suggesting that evaluation and treatment should be longer. Double AWS detection was found for patients who were younger (age < 50) and with normal weight.
