Breast cancer

This study looked at why some women develop a swelling of the arm called lymphoedema, a few months or years after surgery for breast cancer.
Most cases of lymphoedema happen within 3 years of the surgery. Researchers were trying to understand how the drainage of tissue fluid from the arm goes wrong in lymphoedema. And why some women get it but most do not.
Cancer Research UK supported this study.
