  schema:description "Many people treated for breast cancer are told never to have blood pressure taken, blood drawn or an injection in the arm on the treated side, and to wear a sleeve when flying. A 2024 review of 37 studies found the evidence sufficient to refute many of these supposed risks; skin infection remains a real one. The change is to teach what is proven, drop what is not, and test that it does no harm."@en ;
