- Cancer treatment and survivorship statistics, 2012 (2012, background): “Lymphedema of the arm is a common side effect of breast cancer surgery and radiation therapy; it has been estimated that 10% to 50% of patients with breast cancer develop lymphedema.(23) The use of sentinel lymph node biopsy, rather than axillary lymph node dissection, reduces the risk of developing”

- Lymphedema: A Comprehensive Review (2007, positive): “Sizeable weight gain and/or obesity have been shown to increase a woman’s risk of lymphedema following treatment of breast cancer.(10,15,25,26) Large studies of women undergoing unilateral axillary node dissection have shown an increased risk of future development of lymphedema when trauma to the ip”
- Prevalence of lymphedema in women with breast cancer 5 years after sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary dissection: objective measurements. (2008, background): “The literature shows that most cases of chronic lymphedema (77%) develop by 3 years after surgery.(1) We therefore believed that most cases of lymphedema would be captured in our series.”
