Title
Etiology and treatment of cancer-related secondary lymphedema
Abstract
Lymphedema and specifically cancer-related lymphedema is not the main focus for both patients and physicians dealing with cancer. Its etiology is an unfortunate complication of cancer treatment. Although lymphedema treatments have gained an appreciable consensus, many practitioners have developed and prefer their own specific protocols and this is especially true for conventional (manual) versus surgical treatments. This collection of presentations explores the incidence and genetics of cancer-related lymphedema, early detection and monitoring techniques, both conventional and operative treatment options, and the importance and role of exercise for patients with cancer-related lymphedema. These assembled presentations provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by cancer-related lymphedema including the latest research, treatments, and exercises available to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
