Factors influencing response to lymphedema treatment in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema

Abstract: The treatment methods used for treating breast cancer had no effect on the response to treatment of lymphedema. Weight gain during the treatment of breast cancer is important for both the development of lymphedema and the response to treatment. When treating breast cancer-related lymphedema, the relationship between activity level and postoperative weight gain may provide us guidance in clinical practice.

“…Current study showed that surgical method, radiotherapy, and the number of removed lymph nodes were not associated with CDT efficacy, which was confirmed by Liao et al . While Eyigor et al found similar results to our study; they also added that tamoxifen use was positively correlated with PEV . In contrast, hormonotherapy was not a predictor in the current study.…”

“…Due to the decrease of lymphatic capacity with age, lymphedema risk might be greater in older patients . However, the relationship with age and the occurrence of lymphedema or efficacy of CDT are still controversial . In this study, age was not found as a predictive factor for lymphedema severity or CDT efficacy.…”

“…In one study [12], this approach was found to be cost effective during the first year of surveillance. However, a large amount of inter-individual variability exists in patient outcomes associated with LE preventive or treatment strategies [15,16]. Understanding distinct patterns of limb volume change after breast cancer treatment may provide insights into the natural behavior of these changes, and assist with identification of a subset of women at higher risk for the development of LE who can then be targeted for increased surveillance.…”
