"Lymphedema is a side effect that can result from the treatment of breast cancer, or from the disease itself. It is characterized by abnormal swelling of the arm and hand, but also (sometimes) of the breast and chest wall. It appears when the lymphatic system loses the ability to effectively circulate fluids from the arm to the rest of the body, causing localized fluid accumulation."
"Compression therapy helps prevent more fluid from accumulating in the
fabrics. It can be applied in the form of elastic compression sleeves or by
pneumatic compression."
