Abstract
JEFFS, The London Haven, Effie Road, Fulham Broadway, London SW6 1TB, UK, has conducted a clinical audit of treating breast cancer-related lymphoedema.
Abstract: Lymphoedema is recognised as a significant management problem for both patients and clinicians. Around 25% of those undergoing axillary intervention as treatment for breast cancer will go on to develop some degree of lymphoedema, which will impact their everyday life and wellbeing. This paper outlines an audit of the presenting characteristics of all 263 patients seen in The London Haven Lymphoedema Service between 10th February 2000 and 4th June 2003 for treatment of breast cancer-related lymphoedema. It reports outcomes of treatment. Results highlight the key issues around current practice at the London Haven and the need for further research in promising areas in lymphoedema management.
