Journal ArticleDOI
Lymphedema: a comprehensive review.
TL;DR: The diagnosis of lymphedema requires careful attention to patient risk factors and specific findings on physical examination, and noninvasive diagnostic tools and lymphatic imaging can be helpful to confirm the diagnosis and to address a challenging clinical presentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breast Cancer-Related Chronic Arm Lymphedema Is Associated with Excess Adipose and Muscle Tissue.
TL;DR: DXA can be used to identify patients with excess fat in their arms and thus unsuitable for conservative treatment and may be useful in estimating the amount of fat to remove in patients scheduled for liposuction.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is concluded that liposuction combined with controlled compression therapy reduces arm lymphedema more efficiently than the therapy alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adipose Tissue Dominates Chronic Arm Lymphedema Following Breast Cancer: An Analysis Using Volume Rendered CT Images.
TL;DR: Empirical evidence is obtained confirming clinical observations of the presence of excess adipose tissue in patients with chronic nonpitting arm lymphedema following breast cancer and that VR-CT measurements correlate well with PG measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete reduction of lymphoedema of the arm by liposuction after breast cancer
Håkan Brorson,Henry Svensson +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that liposuction is safe and effective for reducing lymphoedema of the arm after operations for breast cancer and in a one-stage procedure, oedematous and hypertrophic fat tissue can be removed with an excellent clinical outcome.
