ABSTRACT

 

Limb Lymphedema is a common long-term complication of breast cancer treatment. The patients usually suffer from fatigue, blunt, abnormal of appearance, repeated infection, pain of limb disorder, because there is a self vicious circle in pathogenesis. Nowadays, evaluate and management of upper limb Lymphedema after operation of breast cancer are developed by overseas, however, the national health staffs and patients have not paid the enough attention to this issue and lack right cognizant. The purpose of this study is to provide foundation of data and basis to prevent and increase patient’s self-management of Lymphedema and upper limb Lymphedema after the operation of breast cancer. 

Method: analysis of 46 patients of Lymphedema after the operation of breast cancer.  

Conclusion: the risk elements of upper limb Lymphedema after the operation of breast cancer are the method of operation, postoperative radiotherapy, and wound infection, and through the upper limb functional exercise, self-management will reduce the rate of Lymphedema postoperative breast cancer

The patients usually suffer from fatigue, blunt,[blunt what?] abnormal of appearance [what is abnormal in appearance?], repeated infection, pain of limb disorder [pain in the limbs - do you mean all limbs or the arms?, because there is a vicious circle of pathogenesis. Nowadays, evaluation and management of upper limb Lymphedema after operations for breast cancer have been developed, but in the National Health service, nurses and patients have not paid enough attention to this issue and lack proper knowledge. The purpose of this study is to provide a foundation of data and a basis to prevent [to prevent what? - presumably not the patient's self-management] and to increase thepatient’s self-management of Lymphedema and upper limb Lymphedema after an operation of breast cancer. 

Method: analysis of 46 patients with Lymphedema after the operation of breast cancer.  lumpectomy or mastectomy

Conclusion: the risk elements leading to upper limb Lymphedema after the operation of breast cancer lumpectomy or mastectomy are the method of operation, post-operative radiotherapy, and wound infection, and through the Upper limb functional exercise and self-management will reduce the rate of postoperative Lymphedema in breast cancer patients.

thank you very much Feebs11

 I got a few little questions here

1. blunt,[blunt what?] I just want to express the meaning of feel tired and fragile, so which word can I use instead of blunt?

2. abnormal of appearance [what is abnormal in appearance?] I change it to abnormal appearance of limbs, is this make sence?

3.  The purpose of this study is to provide a foundation of data and a basis to prevent [to prevent what? - presumably not the patient's self-management] and to increase thepatient’s self-management of Lymphedema and upper limb Lymphedema after an operation of breast cancer.

This sentence is saying [ THIS STUDY IS PROVIDE A FOUNDATION OF DATA AND A BASIS. ] All other things is describe which data and basis I need to provide. so I change it to 

The purpose of this study is to provide foundation data and basis of prevention of the Limb Lymphedema and increase patients’ self-management of upper limb Lymphedema after the operation of breast cancer.

Is this sentence OK? 

 

thx again
