Effectiveness of fluoroscopy-guided manual lymph drainage (MLD) versus traditional MLD or placebo MLD for the treatment of breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL): a randomised controlled trial KU Leuven
Currently, each breast cancer patient with arm lymphedema receives manual lymph drainage (MLD) to treat the edema. Despite this worldwide application of MLD, different systematic reviews conclude that there is no evidence about the effectiveness of lymph drainage to treat BCRL. Belgrado and Tan et al. developed a new and more efficient method of lymph drainage to improve lymph transport, i.e. fluoroscopy-guided MLD. Belgrado has recently ...
