Abstract
Lymphedema therapy includes complete decongestive physiotherapy (CDT), pneumatic compression therapy (PCT), therapeutic exercises, surgery, and pharmacological therapy.
Surgical treatment for breast cancer-related lymphedema is rarely performed except in severe and refractory cases to reduce the weight of the lymphedematous region, minimize the frequency of infectious and inflammatory episodes, and improve cosmoses and function.
Pharmacological interventions to treat lymphedema include antibiotics for treatment of infections, benzopyrones, flavonoids, diuretics, hyaluronidase, pantothenic acid, and selenium.
