    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?

    http://www.cancersupportivecare.com/lowerlymph.html
    
    Extractions: Just as lymphedema of the upper extremities can become a complication after post surgical removal of breast cancer, lymphedema of the lower extremities can be a debilitating condition with several cancers. Prostate, lung, liver, lymphomas, ovarian, and abdominal cancers can cause swelling of the legs. The swelling can come from any compression or surgical removal of the lymph nodes in the lower body. It can also come secondarily to production of fluid into the abdomen (ascites) which spreads into the legs. When under treatment for any cancer, if your protein levels fall into lower levels, fluid will leak into your whole body including legs. Refer to the article on upper extremity edema for treatment Introduction and Treatments for Lymphedema This is difficult to do correctly. The wraps should be on a diagonal. If you go in straight circles, you could end up with a turnicate like constriction of the leg and make the edema worse. If you develop numbness in your toes or coldness, that means that you have wrapped it too tightly. You should totally remove it and apply it again. For men, often the edema will go up into the scrotum. You should also elevate your penis at night to try to empty the water back in to the abdomen. Wearing a jock strap helps support the heavy and often painful scrotal sack when you are up and about.

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 high 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.

    lymphedema can occur as a result of cancer or after surgery or radiation treatment for cancer, particularly when lymph nodes are removed or damaged.  
    http://www.lymphovenous-canada.ca/cancer.htm
    
    Extractions: Lymphedema can occur as a result of cancer or after surgery or radiation treatment for cancer, particularly when lymph nodes are removed or damaged. Sometimes lymphedema doesn't show up until years after cancer treatment has taken place. In 1997 the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the U.S. warned that breast cancer survivors are at risk of getting lymphedema "if they have received radiation therapy or had node dissection.... A 52% incidence of lymphedema among patients undergoing radiation after radical mastectomy has been reported, compared to a 25% incidence in groups treated without radiation." Other cancer survivors at risk for lymphedema include those who have undergone surgery and/or radiation treatment for malignant melanoma of the upper or lower extremities, prostate cancer, gynecologic cancers, ovarian, testicular/prostate cancers, colorectal, pancreatic, or liver cancers, according to the NCI. It is unlikely that the rate of lymphedema in individuals treated for breast cancer will be reduced any time soon. Recent research on the use of adjuvant use of radiation in the treatment of premenopausal women with breast cancer - in combination with chemotherapy - have indicated a reduction in reoccurance of cancer from 30% to 10% (Canadian study: Ragaz J, Jackson SM, Le N, et al. Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy in node-positive premenopausal women with breast cancer N. Engl J Med 1997: 337:956-62; Danish study: Overgaard M, Hansen PS, Overgaard, J, et al.

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
