Do you know how important it is to know about Lymphoedema after Breast Cancer and the latest findings?

Breast cancer related lymphoedema (BCRL) is a common side effect of cancer treatment. Recently indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent lymphography has become a popular method for imaging the lymphatics, however there are no standard protocols nor imaging criteria. There have been recent developments for a prospective protocol to aid in the diagnosis and therapeutic management of BCRL.

Here is an article published in BMC Cancer by Australian researchers that is an interesting read for those who are effected by BCRL (breast cancer related lymphoedema) and Lymph Drainage Therapists.
