Abstract:
Lymphedema is a common complication associated with breast cancer treatment, which has a serious impact on patients' limb function and quality of life. A clear and standardized diagnosis of breast cancer-related lymphedema is important for early identification of lymphedema and timely clinical diagnosis and treatment. Standardized, effective and timely management can reduce the incidence of lymphedema. This article reviews the current common diagnostic tools and methods and management methods, and evaluates their advantages and disadvantages in terms of both diagnosis and early management.
