Introduction: Cancer is defined as a disorderly proliferation of cells that can spread and invade tissues and/or organs throughout the body, when a genetic mutation occurs, the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) undergoes an erroneous change of orders on how to multiply, classified as cancer cells, named according to their multiplication speed and ability to spread to other tissues. Objective: Check the respiratory repercussions in the postoperative period of breast câncer. Method: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with quantitative analysis, carried out with 20 female individuals in the postoperative period of breast cancer who were undergoing treatment at a Specialty Outpatient Clinic in Montes Claros - Minas Gerais. The instruments used were the MRC scale, which assesses the level of dyspnea during physical activity, cirtometry, which assesses chest expansion, and a manovacuometer, which measures respiratory muscle strength. Results: The average age of the participants was 50.40 ± 5.50, it was observed that 90.0% of the participants feel short of breath only during intense exercises, according to the MRC scale, in the cirtometry all the subjects showed a reduction in expandability thoracic. A significant decrease in respiratory muscle strength was observed, the average percentage achieved in forced inspiration was 86.77% and in forced expiration its average percentage was 71.75%. Conclusion: It is concluded that patients with breast cancer who underwent a surgical procedure may have respiratory changes, that is, the population studied showed changes in muscle strength and changes in expansion, but there was no association between the level of chest expansion and type of surgery.
