Abstract

Secondary lymphoedema is a troubling and complex symptom in people with advanced metastatic cancer. Currently there is no standardised approach to managing secondary lymphoedema in the palliative care population. This case study of lower limb lymphoedema utilises subcutaneous drainage with specific cannula placement. The hope is that this insight may allow for future standardisation of this procedure..
