Lymphoedema following breast cancer treatment is a poorly understood and under-researched condition which can significantly impact physical and psychological function, reduce quality of life and result in substantial cost burdens to both patients and the healthcare system. In these interactive modules we will cover an introduction to lymphoedema, lymphatic physiology and anatomy, assessment and treatment, as well as utilise case studies to understand the prospective surveillance and early intervention model of care in breast cancer rehabilitation. This course is brought to you by the Australian Lymphoedema Education, Research and Treatment program (ALERT) at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.
This is an excellent comprehensive overview of breast cancer-associated lymphedema and its monitoring and management.
I wish there were more manual focus , but this is excellent.

love the approach and teaching
I audited the course. I was diagnosed with breast cancer stage 1 and had a mastectomy followed by chemotherapy. The course helped me to understand my condition and the possible risks and what I can do. Thank you.
I am hoping there will be followup course on exercises and activities to manage the condition. I found the case studies very helpful.
