Journal ArticleDOI
Axillary web syndrome following breast cancer surgery: symptoms, complications, and management strategies.
TL;DR: Physical therapy, which consists of manual therapy, exercise, education, and other rehabilitation modalities to improve range of motion and decrease pain, is recommended in the treatment of AWS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and associations of axillary web syndrome in Asian women after breast cancer surgery undergoing a community-based cancer rehabilitation program
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the prevalence and associations for axillary web syndrome in post-operative breast cancer patients up to 3 years after surgery and found that a high prevalence of AWS was reported in breast cancer survivors even at 3 years after breast surgery.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a single-center review of lymphoscintigraphic investigations performed in 46 patients with Axillary Web syndrome (AWS) that was either clinically obvious or suspected.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Axillary Web Syndrome: An Overview
Elan Yang,Xiongwei Li,Xiao Long +2 more
TL;DR: Axillary web syndrome is a self-limiting disease that can occur as an early or possibly late postoperative complication post-axillary surgery, and the most common cause is surgery-related axillary lymphatic injury.

Axillary web syndrome after axillary dissection
Alexander H. Moskovitz,Benjamin O. Anderson,Raymond S. Yeung,David R. Byrd,Thomas J. Lawton,Roger E. Moe +5 more
TL;DR: AWS is a self-limiting cause of morbidity in the early postoperative period and more limited axillary surgery, with less lymphovenous disruption, might reduce the severity and incidence of this syndrome, although SLND does not eliminate its occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review of axillary web syndrome (AWS).
TL;DR: Current evidence for the treatment of AWS is insufficient to provide clear guidance for clinical practice, and low-quality studies suggest that conservative approaches including analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or physiotherapy may be safe and effective for early symptom reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement, Function, Pain, and Postoperative Edema in Axillary Web Syndrome
Linda A Koehler,Anne H. Blaes,Tuffia C. Haddad,David W. Hunter,Alan T. Hirsch,Paula M. Ludewig +5 more
TL;DR: Axillary web syndrome is prevalent following breast/axilla surgery for early-stage breast cancer and may persist beyond 12 weeks and the early consequences include movement restriction, but the long-term effects of persistent AWS cords are yet unknown.
A systematic review of axillary web syndrome (AWS)
TL;DR: A systematic review was conducted to synthesise information on axillary web syndrome (AWS) clinical presentation and diagnosis, frequency, natural progression, grading, pathoaetiology, risk factors, symptoms, interventions and outcomes as mentioned in this paper.
Journal Article

TL;DR: Overall analysis of the study results supports a lymphatic origin of the AWS cord, with US seemed to be more efficient than MRI and allowed dynamic evaluation.
