Impact on Health-Related quality of life after wearing compression garment or not for six months in women with mild breast cancer-related arm lymphedema. A cross-sectional study

Katarina Y. Blom et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of wearing compression garments on lymphedema-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in women with mild breast cancer-related arm lymphedema (BCRAL). The findings showed that wearing compression garments had a negative impact on HRQOL in the practical domain compared to not wearing compression garments.

The effect of myofascial release in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema: a cross-over randomized controlled trial

Yena Kim et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effects of myofascial release (MFR) on upper extremity volume in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). The results showed that MFR treatment can significantly reduce upper limb volume, improve pain and shoulder range of motion, and improve chest mobility. This indicates that MFR treatment plays an important role in BCRL rehabilitation.

Nighttime compression supports improved self-management of breast cancer-related lymphedema: A multicenter randomized controlled trial

Margaret L. McNeely et al.

Summary: This study found that adding nighttime compression to the treatment of chronic breast cancer-related lymphedema, whether through self-applied compression bandaging or through the use of a nighttime compression system garment, significantly improved excess arm volume and quality of life. Nighttime compression was shown to be an effective self-management strategy for women with chronic breast cancer-related lymphedema.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Breast Cancer-related Lymphedema: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Yan Lin et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) on breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) patients. The findings demonstrate that MLD significantly improves pain in BCRL patients, but does not have significant effects on volumetric changes of lymphedema and quality of life. The potential preventive effect of MLD on BCRL requires further discussion.

Clinical application of low-level laser therapy (Photo-biomodulation therapy) in the management of breast cancer-related lymphedema: a systematic review

Dania Mahmood et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in the treatment of breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). The results showed that LLLT was successful in reducing arm circumference and volume, but did not significantly improve shoulder mobility and pain severity. Therefore, laser therapy may be a viable treatment option for BCRL.

Current and future burden of breast cancer: Global statistics for 2020 and 2040

Melina Arnold et al.

Summary: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, with over 2.3 million new cases and 685,000 deaths in 2020. There is significant geographic variation in incidence rates, with lower rates in some Asian and African countries and higher rates in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Northern America, and parts of Europe. Mortality rates show less variation, but transitioning countries still bear a disproportionate burden of breast cancer deaths. By 2040, the burden of breast cancer is predicted to increase further due to population growth and ageing. Global efforts are needed to address this growing burden, especially in transitioning countries where incidence rates are rising rapidly and mortality rates remain high.

Manual lymphatic drainage treatment for lymphedema: a systematic review of the literature

Belinda Thompson et al.

Summary: Recent research on manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage for lymphedema has shown conflicting results, with some studies reporting positive effects on symptoms and quality of life, while others finding no additional benefit. Additionally, studies have shown that MLD may reduce the incidence of lymphedema in at-risk patients, but there are also studies showing no such benefits. Further experimental studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of MLD in lymphedema treatment.

The impact of lymphedema on health-related quality of life up to 10 years after breast cancer treatment

Mads G. Jorgensen et al.

Summary: This study found that patients with BCRL had significantly poorer HRQoL compared to those without BCRL in 16 out of 18 HRQoL subscales over a period of up to 10 years. Age, BMI, BCRL severity, hand and dominant arm affection had minor impact on HRQoL, suggesting a high degree of inter-individual variation in coping with lymphedema.
