LNVA for treating secondary lymphedema: A systematic review [PDF]
Secondary lymphedema is a frequent long-term complication following cancer treatment. Although several surgical options exist, lymph node-to-vein anastomosis (LNVA) has recently gained renewed attention as a potential treatment for secondary lymphedema ...

Critical role of keratinocytes and protease‐activated receptor 2 in secondary lymphedema development [PDF]
Background Secondary lymphedema is a common complication of cancer treatment and epidermal changes are recognised as histological hallmarks of secondary lymphedema; however, the role of keratinocytes in the pathophysiology of this disease remains unclear.

TGF-β–mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition of keratinocytes promotes fibrosis in secondary lymphedema [PDF]
Secondary lymphedema is characterized by fibrosis and impaired lymphatic function. Although TGF-β is a key regulator of fibrosis in this disease, the cellular mechanisms regulating this process remain unknown.

Current Concepts in the Management of Primary Lymphedema
Primary lymphedema is a heterogeneous group of conditions encompassing all lymphatic anomalies that result in lymphatic swelling. Primary lymphedema can be difficult to diagnose, and diagnosis is often delayed. As opposed to secondary lymphedema, primary
