Monitoring for the early detection of breast cancer-related lymphedema: a proactive approach to early detection, assessment and management

Research output: Contribution to journal › Meeting abstract

Abstract

For women who have survived breast cancer, the development of lymphedema can be a distressing event and often a daily reminder of their breast cancer experience. Lymphedema can be a chronic debilitating condition resulting in an increased risk of infection, arm swelling and pain, all of which may limit function and negatively impact on quality of life. Women are often highly fearful about developing lymphedema despite the low risk for most of them
in developing the condition.
