Abstract

Lymphedema is a chronic and progressive disease characterized by fluid accumulation, causing tissue edema as a result of a compromised lymphatic system. Diagnostic ultrasound (DUS) is a method capable of assessing soft tissue characteristics that can be used reliably to diagnose lymphedema as well as for measuring tissue compliance in a clinical setting. This is a systematic review, aiming to evaluate articles that made use of DUS in management of lymphedema secondary to breast cancer. A total of 570 articles were selected, exported to the Rayyan QCRI review program, and then screened by two researchers. From this search, 25 articles were selected after the authors reached consensus and were catalogued as to their main results. Diagnostic ultrasound was identified as an advantageous method that is safe, minimally invasive, low cost, and radiation free and is useful for evaluating the efficacy of therapies used in lymphedema treatment.

超声波检查作为评估乳腺癌继发性淋巴水肿的工具：系统综述。

淋巴水肿是一种慢性进行性疾病，其特点是淋巴系统受损导致液体积聚，造成组织水肿。诊断性超声波（DUS）是一种能够评估软组织特征的方法，可用于可靠地诊断淋巴水肿以及在临床环境中测量组织顺应性。本文是一篇系统性综述，旨在评估利用 DUS 治疗乳腺癌继发性淋巴水肿的文章。共选取了 570 篇文章，将其导出至 Rayyan QCRI 审查程序，然后由两名研究人员进行筛选。在作者们达成共识后，我们从中筛选出 25 篇文章，并对其主要结果进行了编目。超声诊断被认为是一种安全、微创、低成本、无辐射的有利方法，可用于评估淋巴水肿治疗方法的疗效。
