Extractions: Lymphedema is the accumulation of lymph fluid causing swelling of arm(s), leg(s) and/or other areas of the body. It occurs when the lymphatic system is impaired, especially when lymph nodes are blocked, damaged or removed as part of cancer treatment. Lymphedema can be primary or secondary. Primary lymphedema has no known cause. Primary lymphedema can appear at birth, puberty, or later and most commonly involves one or both lower extremities. Secondary lymphedema is often caused by surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, but can result from infection, trauma or filariasis. Filariasis, common in certain subtropical and tropical regions of the world, is a parasitic disease caused by mosquito bites. Treatments that reduce swelling, discomfort and risk of infection are available. Currently, the treatment of choice for many members is Complete Decongestive Physiotherapy (CDP). Without treatment the risks of infection and secondary complications increase which can be disabling and even life threatening. What is GBLN?

Extractions: Vascular Web Provided by the SOCIETY FOR VASCULAR SURGERY Search What is lymphedema? Lymphedema occurs when lymphatic fluid builds up in the soft tissues of your body, usually in an arm or leg. The lymphatic system consists of lymph vessels and lymph nodes that run through your body. Lymph vessels collect a fluid that is made up of protein, water, fats, and wastes from the cells of the body. Lymph vessels carry this fluid to your lymph nodes. Lymph nodes filter waste materials and foreign products, then return the fluid to your blood. If your vessels or nodes become damaged or are missing, the lymph fluid cannot move freely through the system. The fluid can then build up and cause swelling in the affected arms or legs. There are two types of lymphedema: Inherited lymphedema or primary lymphedema, in which you are born lacking lymph vessels and nodes. The swelling usually appears during your adolescence and affects your foot or calf. A rare form of primary lymphedema develops in infancy and is called Milroyâs disease Acquired lymphedema or secondary lymphedema, in which an injury to your lymphatic system causes lymphedema. It is much more common than primary lymphedema

Extractions: and Diane Sackett Nannery "Coping with Lymphedema is a valuable resource for those who are suffering from lymphedema, and its underlying message is very powerful: arm yourself with knowledge and become an advocate for your own quality care. This book is a highly recommended resource and has received an outstanding rating from the OncoLink editorial team." Lora Miringoff, MS, PT, University of Pennsylvania Hospital Occupational & Physical Therapy Department for OncoLink - Book Reviews "Finally, a book on lymphedema – a subject that far too many breast cancer patients hear little or nothing about in those critical days just after being diagnosed and before surgery. Lymphedema is an ailment over which we do have some control. With education and effort, we can save thousands of women who have survived surgery, radiaion, and chemotherapy, the heartbreak of coping with this debilitating condition. Coping with Lymphedema offers much needed information and furthers this effort." From the book review by Josephine Miller for Breast Cancer Action of San Francisco. "I was advised to read "Coping with Lymphedema" – it’s excellent, very clearly and simply presented. I must have turned down the corners of about 50 different pages that I want to refer back to a lot!" M. Hall, Brooksville, FL

Extractions: Introduction This patient summary is adapted from the summary on lymphedema written by cancer experts for health professionals. This and other credible information about cancer treatment, screening, prevention, supportive care, and ongoing trials is available from the National Cancer Institute. Lymphedema is the buildup of lymph (a fluid that helps fight infection and disease) in the fatty tissues just under the skin. The buildup of lymph causes swelling in specific areas of the body, usually an arm or leg, with an abnormally large amount of tissue proteins, chronic inflammation, and thickening and scarring of tissue under the skin. Lymphedema is a common complication of cancer and cancer treatment and can result in long-term physical, psychological, and social issues for patients.
