Abstract:
Breast cancer-related lymphedema(BCRL)is a common and severe complication of axillary lymph node dissection,with its patho-genesis closely linked to the disruption of axillary lymphatic drainage.This article systematically reviews the preventive strategies for BCRL(de-escalation of axillary surgery,non-surgical interventions,and prophylactic microsurgical techniques),along with treatment modalities(non-surgical complex decongestive therapy,lymphatic reconstruction surgery,and debulking procedures).Current clinical controversies and future research directions have also been discussed,by integrating the latest evidence-based medical data,to provide a reference for stand-ardized BCRL management.
