A message from our sponsor, medi. Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a significant issue for survivors. The PREVENT study, published in May of 2019 in the Annals of Surgical Oncology demonstrates clear clinical evidence that the early use of the Bioimpedance screening surveillance and utilization of compression garments is an effective tool in lymphedema prevention. In the largest randomized controlled trial on lymphedema prevention, the mediven® harmony arm sleeves and gauntlets assisted in preventing the progression of subclinical lymphedema.
