What to do with arm edema after breast cancer surgery

There is generally no particularly good treatment for breast cancer patients' upper limb edema after surgery. This is mainly because of surgical resection, which removes the related drainage axillary lymph nodes, resulting in upper limb edema caused by lymphatic return obstruction in patients. Some drugs to improve microcirculation are mainly given, such as some drugs that promote blood circulation and blood stasis, and some drugs to improve lymphedema, such as osmin.

Can breast cancer be cured?

Can mid-stage breast cancer be cured?

For early or mid-stage breast cancer, surgery is generally the first choice. If the tumor tissue is large or accompanied by axillary lymph node metastasis, adjuvant chemotherapy can also be considered to control tumor lesions and reduce metastatic sites after surgical treatment. It can also improve the success rate of surgery and reduce the spread of tumor tissue during surgery. Breast cancer does not seem to have a clinical mid-stage concept. Breast cancer is usually divided into three stages. The early stage, that is, through TNM staging, I and II are called early breast cancer. Now it can be treated with breast protection and comprehensive treatment, with better results. For breast cancer, although it is a malignant breast tumor, its prognosis is still relatively good with the development of medicine.
