What causes Lymphoedema?
During surgery for breast cancer, your surgeon might take out lymph nodes from under the arm to see if the cancer has spread. Removing lymph nodes and vessels changes the flow of lymph fluid in that part of the body.
With breast cancer, it makes it harder for fluid in the chest, breast, and arm to flow out of these areas. If the remaining lymph vessels can’t drain enough fluid from these areas, the fluid builds up and causes swelling, or lymphedema.
Radiation treatment to the underarm lymph nodes can also affect lymph fluid flow in the arm, chest, and breast area by causing scarring and damage. This further increases the risk of lymphoedema. In most cases, lymphedema develops slowly over time and the swelling can range from mild to severe. It can start soon after surgery and/or radiation treatment. But it can also start months or even many years later.
