Lymphedema Solutions

Lymphedema is a swelling of a body part, often an arm or leg. It results from accumulation of fluids triggered by removal or radiation of lymph nodes or vessels, such as during cancer surgery or treatment. Lymphedema can occur immediately or years later.


Lymphedema is seen in 12%-25% of breast cancer surgery cases, particularly in those who experience axillary lymphadenectomy followed by radiation surgery. With lymph nodes damaged or removed, the lymphatic fluid may build up in skin tissue. There are products available to help redirect the flow of the lymph fluid. Special compression garments help to minimize the swelling and direct the lymph fluid flow. There are also pumps available that a patient can put on several times per day to help manage lymphedema.
