Evidence-based practice in the management of lower limb lymphedema after gynecological cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: Although LLL is more or as frequent and detrimental as upper limb lymphedema post-cancer treatment, there are only a few studies about this subject. Publications are even scarcer when considering studies with interventional approach. Randomized controlled trials are necessary to support rehabilitation resources on lymphedema post-gynecological cancer treatment. PMID: 27918865 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
