Objective: To investigate the challenges and perspectives for the effectiveness of treatments
for axillary web syndrome, aiming to optimize therapeutic results with a multiprofessional
approach. Method: An integrative literature review was conducted in the PubMed, LILACS,
SciELO, and Latindex databases, using the descriptors "Axillary," "Web," and "Syndrome."
Forty-five articles published between 2014 and 2024 in English, Portuguese, or Spanish that
addressed available treatments for the syndrome were included. Result: The analysis of the
studies revealed that physiotherapy is the most effective treatment, with improvement rates
of up to 92%. The multiprofessional approach proved to be fundamental due to the
psychosocial impact of the syndrome, which affects quality of life and can lead to anxiety
and depression. Conclusion: The effective treatment of the syndrome depends on an
integrated multiprofessional approach. Physiotherapy is the main therapeutic modality, but
psychological support is essential for the patient's complete recovery.
