lymphoedema

Lymphoedema is a chronic condition in which excess fluid accumulates in the tissues, causing swelling and discomfort. It occurs when the lymphatic system is damaged, blocked or removed, which may occur as a side effect from your cancer or cancer treatment. Approximately 20% of patients treated for breast, melanoma, gynaecological or prostate cancers will develop lymphoedema. Lymphoedema is a lifelong condition, however if detected early, conservative therapy can have a significant effect on it's progression and impact.
