Raji Susan Varghese, Annamma Varghese

Abstract: This narrative review examines the role of Complete Decongestive Therapy CDT in managing lymphedema associated with breast cancer. The review synthesises findings from ten studies involving 752 women with unilateral breast cancer related lymphedema BCRL post-surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. The effects of CDT on lymphedema, including patient reported outcomes such as pain, heaviness, functional status and health related quality of life HRQoL were explored. Additionally, the review discusses barriers and facilitators to CDT implementation, highlighting the need for early intervention to prevent the progression of lymphedema and improve patient outcomes.
