Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cancer-related lymphedema represents one of the major complications of cancer treatment, especially for breast and gynecologic cancers. Moreover, it has high impact on cancer survivors and healthcare systems. Lymphedema management still remains challenging. The better understanding of lymphedema physiopathology as well as the development of sophisticated surgical and diagnostic techniques have led to effective strategies to address lymphedema patients but, despite the considerable interest in international literature, no consensus exist. The combination of LVA and liposuction may represent an effective strategy in treating patients with cancer-related lymphedema, in order to reach a significant decrease in volume and reduction of lymphangitis rate as well as stable results in time. In addition, it has the aim of being minimally invasive and well tolerated by patients
