- Radiation TherapyLymphedema is a chronic condition in which an abnormal accumulation of protein-rich swelling occurs in the head, face trunk, arms legs or genitals. There are two types of Lymphedema, Primary and Secondary. Primary Lymphedema can be present at birth, develop at puberty or in adulthood. It is often hereditary or a result of deficiency in lymphatic system development. Secondary Lymphedema appears as a result of damage to the lymphatic system often after cancer surgery to remove lymph nodes, with radiation therapy or in combination with venous insufficiency or other medical disorders. The condition causes a feeling of heaviness in the limb, uncomfortable swelling and reduced limb function along with a high risk of infections.
