Lymphedema
Lymphedema, which can lead to swelling in the limbs or trunk, can develop after cancer treatment, surgery, vascular issues or trauma. While lymphedema isn’t curable, we can help you manage it.
Why Choose Sutter?
Our lymphedema therapy program, led by certified lymphedema therapists, is designed to help you manage this condition day by day. Lymphedema frequently affects people who previously had breast cancer surgery with lymph node removal. It can also impact the legs after surgeries for prostate cancer, lymphoma, uterine or ovarian cancer and melanoma, as well as the upper body after treatment for head and neck cancer. We combine hands-on treatment to reduce swelling with personalized self-care education to improve your quality of life. We’ll help return your limbs to a normal size and shape with the proper care and treatment.
