Conservative and dietary interventions for cancer‐related lymphedema Journal Articles

abstract

• AbstractThe findings support the use of compression garments and compression bandaging for reducing lymphedema volume in upper and lower extremity cancer‐related lymphedema. Specific to breast cancer, a statistically significant, clinically small beneficial effect was found from the addition of manual lymph drainage massage to compression therapy for upper extremity lymphedema volume.
