Study on the improvement of quality of life (QOL) for patients with exercises and home program in addition to complete decongestive therapy (CDT). Secondary lymphedema is common in women treated for breast cancer. Edema commonly affects the arm, leading to discomfort, reduced arm movements, pain and diminished quality of life. Therefore, the relationship between post mastectomy lymphedema and quality of life has evolved as an important criteria in treatment of breast cancer survivors. In this study, exercises and home program in addition to manual lymphatic drainage and compression bandaging resulted in improved quality of life. Early identification of lymphedema and incorporation of remedial exercises and a home program improve the quality of life for breast cancer survivors.
