Abstract
Even without clinically manifest lymphedema, in the overwhelming majority of patients after breast cancer treatment the function of the lymphatics is impaired. As a consequence, appropriate preventive measures have to be carried out. The method of choice of the treatment of lymphedema is combined physiotherapy.
