The use of compression garments during exercise is recommended for women with breast cancer-related lymphedema, but the evidence behind this clinical recommendation is unclear. The aim of this randomized, cross-over trial was to compare the acute effects of wearing versus not wearing compression during a single bout of moderate-load resistance exercise on lymphedema status and its associated sy...

OBJECTIVE To assess for the first time the morphology of the lymphatic system in patients with lipedema and lipo-lymphedema of the lower extremities by MR lymphangiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS 26 lower extremities in 13 consecutive patients (5 lipedema, 8 lipo-lymphedema) were examined by MR lymphangiography. 18 mL of gadoteridol and 1 mL of mepivacainhydrochloride 1% were subdivided into 1...

BACKGROUND As breast cancer survivorship has increased, so has an awareness of the morbidities associated with its treatment. The incidence of breast cancer-related lymphedema has been reported to be 8 to 30 percent in all breast cancer survivors. To determine whether breast cancer reconstruction has an impact on the incidence of breast cancer-related lymphedema, the authors compared its incide...

Lymphoscintigraphy with combined qualitative and quantitative analysis is reported to be a more sensitive approach diagnose lymphedema in comparison the conventional clinical analysis.
