Dear colleagues and friends of the NLN,
The NLN Medical Advisory Committee is thrilled to release a supplement to our Position
Paper "Screening and Measurements for Early Detection of Breast Cancer-Related
Lymphedema: The Imperative". (Click Here to Download [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109380859685&s=8235&e=001qk9xQadBFu_z-ysByS1ojzxK8-fLX-wte28Iv37d5JFqJNJdSH6PcAKZvdKh2uqGTljzGAoM12nEnTezop0WruyEk_q9cZMcpciXkC7-zonYIAIi-DJn6-s8STtiJCtQYYMgsyqVt1SIaJlt-VhoPvI8GNdlZMMuWaaMDcYcqLU=])
In the past, there was little evidence to suggest that early detection could make
a difference in early treatment outcomes for breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL),
but this is changing.
Like breast cancer, early studies suggest changes associated with LE may even be
detectable early, in a latent stage, before LE is visible and/or symptomatic, meeting
a criterion for LE diagnosis. Research shows that waiting to treat BCRL until it
becomes irreversible and chronic may not be optimal.
In the last year, attitudes have changed among surgeons and oncologists. We have
noticed an increase in patient education regarding lymphedema risk-reduction practices
in Breast Centers and Surgical Practices, and early screening and detection measures
for BCRL have been adopted at some centers.
While this trend is positive, we are far from reaching our goal. I urge you to please
help spread the word about this important document to your local surgeons/oncologists,
colleagues, patients, support groups and BC organizations. We need your support
to ensure that we protect and educate every person diagnosed with breast cancer
from this chronic condition.
Secondly, the NLN Board of Directors and staff are very excited to unveil our brand
new logo. After 23 years of service, we are presenting an updated and fresh face
to the public. In a couple of weeks you will receive our redesigned Lymphlink,
and we will launch our new website in late April; www.lymphnet.org. Our new site
will have many new features, including a community site where therapists, physicians,
and patients can share common questions, concerns and updates. As you can imagine
NLN staff are very busy implementing these new changes, as well as preparing for
our upcoming conference.
Please join us in the celebration of our new Logo, Lymphlink, and
(soon-to-come) new website. I would also like to give a special thank you to the
NLN Medical Advisory Committee for their commitment and development of this important
Supplement to our Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema Screening Position Paper.
Respectfully yours,
Saskia R.J. Thiadens, RN
Executive Director
