Lymphedema Therapy Treatment

Lymphedema is a serious complication for many cancer survivors. It causes swelling, usually in an arm or leg, and sometimes in the nearby trunk quadrant.

Anyone who has undergone lymph node dissection and/or radiation in the axillary, groin, or neck region is at risk of developing lymphedema. Virginia Mason Franciscan Health provides specialized therapy that helps treat lymphedema in the arms.
