The Lymphedema Patient Roundtable: October 2024

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the Lymphedema Patient Roundtable spent their hour together spotlighting cancer-related lymphedema, from risk factors and symptoms to diagnosis and treatment. The panel also answered questions about fibrosis, wounds, and compression garments.
