Abstract
Upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer treatment including axillary dissection occurs in almost 20% of women. Its treatment consists of complete decongestive physiotherapy based on low-stretch bandage to reduce volume, followed by elastic compression to maintain it. In this article, we will detail recent data on lymphedema risk factors with possible genetic predisposition, prevention (surgical, compression), manual lymphatic drainage, physical activity, weight, advice, and treatments including gene therapy.
