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 EarlyDetection of BreastCancer Related Lymphedema:
The Imperative".
In the past, there was no evidence to suggest that early detection could make a
difference in early treatment outcomes for breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL),
but this has changed.
Like breast cancer, LE can now be detected early before it is visible and symptomatic.
Research shows that waiting to treat BCRL, when it becomes visible, maybe too late.
In the last year, opinions 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 of 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 [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109368855667&s=8235&e=001wzyqJe-_7jUJZTou0a6Rdf2zW6Edq6CybbQPj1IOCIAZv8qpTGCxBjaNTUJ3EHpPkAytccMPU_91wJnBwH6RyUnXohuvDkRPo4ukcijxgUs=].
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 the 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 Screening Position Paper.
Respectfully yours,
Saskia R.J. Thiadens, RN
Executive Director
