Official title:
The Effect of Manual Lymph Drainage in the Treatment of Breast Edema That May Occur in Patients Undergoing Breast-conserving Surgery and Adjuvant Radiotherapy-Randomized Controlled Study
Breast conserving surgery (BCS) is widely used in the treatment of breast cancer. Breast edema can be seen frequently after BCS and radiotherapy applications. Breast edema affects quality of life and may result in a cosmetically unsatisfactory outcome for the patient. Therefore, it is important to treat and prevent its development.
