✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

Upper extremity lymphedema can develop after surgery for breast carcinoma. Once developed, it becomes a chronic problem that women must cope with for the rest of their lives. Steps to prevent lymphedema should begin immediately after surgery. However, there is little information available about what actually causes lymphedema; therefore, it is difficult to prevent, and there is some controversy over how women should be treated once lymphedema has developed.

METHODS.

The literature was reviewed to understand the education about arm care provided to women during and after the short hospital stay for breast carcinoma surgery. Evaluation and treatment options for lymphedema and complications resulting from lymphedema were explored.
