Lymphoedema after breast cancer: risk reduction, surveillance, early compression and treatment After surgery or radiotherapy to the armpit nodes, the arm can swell (lymphoedema). Measuring the arm before surgery and at check-ups can find swelling early, when a compression sleeve may stop it becoming permanent. Exercise, including weights, is safe. Infection raises the risk; the old bans on blood pressure, needles or flying are not well supported. Report arm swelling, heaviness or redness. | Breast cancer | none | protocol, survivorship, breast-cancer |
