Since the early 1990s, therapeutic potentiality of low-level LASER has been reported in dozens of trials in-vitro and in-vivo. Following promising results in animal-model-based experiments, low-level LASER has persistently gained high level of evidence of its clinical efficiency such as in randomized controlled trials, and, now a day, it is statistically affirmed in several numbers of meta-analysis articles that low-level LASER can reduce local swelling and its after-effect maintains in some periods in lymphedema patients underwent breast cance...

Regular exercise has emerged as a safe and essential component of lymphedema management, overturning historical precautions against physical activity. A growing body of clinical research shows that carefully supervised resistance and aerobic exercises do not exacerbate lymphedema and can improve patients’ arm/leg function, strength, fatigue, and quality of life. Progressive weight training in breast cancer survivors, even those at high risk (e.g., extensive lymph node removal), did not increase lymphedema incidence; in fact, it significantly ...

The lymphatic system plays a central role in maintaining circulatory and immune homeostasis through three classical functions: recovery of interstitial fluid and proteins, absorption of dietary lipids, and regulation of immune cell trafficking. Recent advances in microvascular physiology, including the revision of Starling’s principle, highlight the lymphatic system as the exclusive pathway for protein-rich fluid clearance from tissues. Structurally, specialized features such as flap valves in initial lymphatics, anchoring filaments, and cont...

Current Challenges and Future Directions in Lymphedema Diagnosis and Staging

https://doi.org/10.67326/cll.2025.10.2.48
Lymphedema is a chronic, progressive disorder that leads to irreversible tissue changes, functional disability, and psychosocial distress among cancer survivors. In Korea, diagnostic criteria and stage-based management systems remain fragmented despite technological progress. Conventional volume-based approaches cannot detect early physiological changes, while newer modalities such as bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), ultrasound, and indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography lack standardization in interpretation and application. This review examines...

Objectives: This study aimed to identify clinical and dosimetric risk factors for subsequent arm lymphedema (SAL) in patients with locoregionally recurrent breast cancer who received salvage repeated radiotherapy (RT). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 65 patients treated between 2003 and 2017. Regional nodal areas were divided into seven subregions per Gross et al. (2019) and contoured for dosimetric evaluation. Initial and repeated RT plans were deformed and merged to calculate cumulative dose-volume histograms. Equivalent dose in 2 Gy fra...
