✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

The majority of patients schedules for breast surgery or radiation therapy for breast carcinoma do not receive basic information about the risk of lymphedema or its treatment.

METHODS.

A review of the literature documenting patient and provider education on the risk, prevention and treatment of lymphedema was undertaken.

RESULTS.

Formal education about lymphedema is not a part of the training of most medical and allied health professionals. Thus, patients do not receive information about the risk, prevention, or treatment of lymphedema.

CONCLUSIONS.

Educational strategies for patients and providers need to be developed and implemented.
