Incidence of unilateral arm lymphoedema after breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise and secondary lymphedema: safety, potential benefits, and research issues.

TL;DR: The results from this pilot study indicate that, at minimum, exercise does not exacerbate secondary lymphedema, and women with secondary lyMPhedema should be encouraged to be physically active, optimizing their physical and psychosocial recovery.
Journal Article

Lymphedema secondary to breast cancer: how choice of measure influences diagnosis, prevalence, and identifiable risk factors.
