Interventions 1\. Scapular and Shoulder Exercise Program (Intervention Group) Supervision and Duration * 3 sessions/week * 45-60 minutes per session * Total duration: 8 weeks (24 sessions) * Conducted by physiotherapists with ≥5 years of musculoskeletal oncology rehabilitation experience (10). Exercise Components The program consists of five progressive phases: Phase 1: Mobility and Motor Control (Week 1-2) * Pendulum exercises * Active-assisted ROM using pulleys or wand * Scapular clocks and gentle setting exercises * Pectoralis minor and posterior capsule stretching * Deep breathing and thoracic mobilization exercises Phase 2: Early Scapular Activation (Week 2-3) * Scapular retraction with tactile cueing * Serratus anterior low-load activation (wall slides, punches without resistance) * Lower trapezius recruitment in prone position * Active ROM to 120° flexion/abduction Phase 3: Functional Strengthening (Week 3-5) * Resistance-band exercises (yellow to red): * External rotation * Flex
