Expert Panel Discussion:​ Oncology Related Lymphedema

Lymphedema is a progressive disease where an abnormal amount of fluid accumulates in a localized region of the body. The lymphatic system is often referred to as the main filter for waste products in the body such as toxins, fat, and cancer cells.
