Evaluation of Patients Presenting to a Multidisciplinary Lymphatic Center

Listen to this summary

This study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics and geographic patterns of lymphedema care at a multidisciplinary lymphatic center. The findings reveal that a significant portion of patients did not have lymphedema, with secondary lymphedema being the most prevalent. Additionally, geographic barriers were linked to longer symptom durations and increased surgical intervention rates, highlighting the need for improved access to multidisciplinary care for lymphedema patients.
