Risk factors for severity of breast cancer-related lymphedema
Advanced-stage BCRL is influenced by multiple factors, particularly radiotherapy and the extent of lymph node dissection. These findings underscore the importance of strategies to mitigate risk among breast cancer survivors, especially those undergoing radiotherapy. Further research is warranted to explore targeted interventions for reducing BCRL severity.
