    Abstract

    Lymphedema (LE) is recognized as a common complication after axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Numerous studies have attempted to identify risk factors for LE. However, it is difficult to predict the probability of LE for an individual patient.

Patients and Methods: 50 breast cancer patients were surveyed and followed for 90 days. LE was defined by circumferential measurement
