Abstract:
Breast cancer-related lymphedema is one of the common complications after breast cancer surgery and radiation therapy.In recent years,the mechanism and clinical studies have a wide and deep research,but there is no unified treatment.This article aimed to review the various treatments reported and newest research progress.
