    Unexplained Swelling Could be Lymphedema The contact information listed below is for members of the media seeking additional information. Wednesday, March 20, 2002 High Incidence Found in Breast Cancer Patients
    By Jodi Bakken When Debbie Simpson's arm started to swell shortly after undergoing surgery to treat her breast cancer, she assumed it was just an aftereffect. But when Simpson visited her doctor she learned that she had lymphedema—a little-known condition characterized by swelling in the arms, legs, or other areas of the body resulting from the accumulation of fluid. Simpson was fortunate to be diagnosed in the early stages, when the condition is totally reversible. If left untreated, lymphedema can lead to elephantiasis, the extreme enlargement of limbs and other areas of the body. Recent studies have indicated that up to 20 percent of breast cancer patients develop lymphedema. The swelling causes extreme physical discomfort and can lead to severe infection, resulting in loss of function. The Scripps Polster Breast Care Center offers a lymphedema program that provides specialized physical therapy to treat the condition.

Our bodies have a network of lymph nodes and lymph vessels that carry lymph fluid, similar to the way blood vessels circulate blood to all parts of the body. The lymph fluid contains white blood cells, which help us fight infections. During surgery for breast cancer, the doctor usually removes some of the lymph nodes from the underarm area to see if the cancer has spread. Some lymph vessels that carry fluid from the arm to the rest of the body are removed also, because they are intertwined with the nodes. How To Reduce Swelling After Surgery or Radiation

Glossary Understanding Lymphedema (For Cancers Other Than Breast Cancer) What Is the Lymph System? Our bodies have a network of lymph nodes and lymph vessels that carry and remove lymph fluid the same way blood vessels circulate blood to all parts of the body. Lymph fluid has white blood cells, which help us fight infections. Within the lymph vessels, there are valves and muscles that help move the fluid through the body. Lymph nodes serve as filters for harmful substances and help us fight infection. What is Lymphedema? Lymphedema is the build up of lymph fluid in the tissues that results in swelling usually of the arms or legs. Primary lymphedema can develop because lymph nodes or vessels are missing or are not working the way they should. This type of lymphedema is not common.

Lymphedema is a chronic swelling, due to inadequate lymph drainage. Swelling can be present anywhere on the body, but is most commonly seen in an arm or a leg. You are at risk for developing lymphedema if you have had lymph nodes removed and/or radiation therapy. This risk is usually restricted to the quadrant(s) from which the lymph nodes were removed and/or the radiation given. TYPES OF LYMPHEDEMA There are two types of lymphedema: primary and secondary.

    Lymphedema
    What Is Lymphedema?
    Lymphedema is the chronic swelling of part of the body caused by an abnormal build-up of lymph fluid. It most often involves an arm or leg, but also can occur in the face, neck, abdomen or other parts of the body. The condition most often causes a feeling of heaviness and cosmetic deformity and may cause repeated episodes of infection (cellulitis and lymphangitis).
    The Kinds of Lymphedema
    Primary Lymphedema is caused by malformation of the lymph system. The abnormality may be present at birth, can occur during adolescence or later in life. Secondary Lymphedema occurs when the lymph system is damaged or a part is removed, as with radiation or cancer surgery. This type of Lymphedema can arise months or even years following treatment.
    Lymphedema Symptoms
    • Initially, you may notice swelling. Jewelry or clothing may feel tight. Your doctor should always evaluate unusual or persistent swelling.
    Can Lymphedema Be Prevented?
    There are precautions you can take to minimize your risk of developing or stimulating lymphedema.
