Résumé
Upper limb lymphedema secondary to breast cancer treatment is the leading cause of lymphedema in France. Despite improved surgical practices and de-escalation of radiotherapy, the risk of lymphedema after breast cancer still affects 5-20% of patients, with this variation depending on the measurement method used and the population studied. Lymphedema has a negative impact on quality of life and body image, and their possible occurrence remains a major concern for all women treated for breast cancer. The Sénologie Commission of the Collège National des Gynécologues et Obstétriciens Français (CNGOF) asked four specialists in breast surgery or lymphology to prepare a summary on the prevention, medical and surgical management of lymphedema after breast cancer treatment, and to discuss the medical and surgical innovations currently being evaluated.
