Lymphoedema

Lymphoedema is swelling caused by damaged or abnormal lymphatic vessels. It is a chronic condition that requires ongoing monitoring and treatment.

It can occur following treatment for breast cancer or any other cancer surgery where lymph nodes are removed or damaged.

Treatment aims to prevent progression of this condition through early detection, swelling reduction and maintenance.

Restore Oncology, specialises in PREVENTION of lymphoedema.

Early detection:
