Predicting breast cancer-related lymphedema using self-reported symptoms

Article Abstract:

The accuracy of using self-reported signs and symptoms to identify the presence of lymphedema as well as the usefulness of identifying clinically measurable lymphedema is examined. The findings conclude that changes in sensations may be indicators of early lymphedema that must be assessed carefully at each follow-up visit and over time.
