When NLN Founder Saskia Thiadens started her lymphedema clinic in California in 1989 Professor Olszewski visited from Poland to provide encouragement and support.
Professor Olszewski's contributions to lympology was vast, varied, and impactful. He was very well respected throughout the lymphedema community and we will miss him dearly.
We wish much love to his family as they try to heal from the loss of wonderful man. | | | NLN Update 2021 NLN Conference | | We are excited and hopeful that we will all be able to meet in person for this year NLN Conference which will be held in Boston 10/1/21 - 10/4/21.

Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is an obstacle for many survivors as they transition from life with cancer to life in remission. While the physical body has healed, there is little attention placed on healing the mind. This is an important topic because many people have undergone cancer treatment and have been affected by this. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of cancer treatments on long-term psychological health and mental function. By gaining a better understanding of cognitive impairment following cancer treatment, doctors will be better able to treat and educate patients. You are eligible if you: are 18-65 years of age, fluent in English, have been diagnosed and treated for a non-central nervous system cancer within the past 10 years, are in remission for over one year. The survey takes around 20-30 minutes to complete and is available 24/7. If you have any questions about the study, please contact the principal researcher, Alexia Davelaar at adavelaar@alliant.edu | | Research Update Gynecologic Oncology - February 2021 | | Standardization of Lower Extremity Quantitative Lymphedema Measurements and Associated Patient-reported Outcomes in Gynecologic Cancers | | | Research Update Current Oncology - December 2020 | | Cancer-related Lymphedema: Clinical Pearls for Providers | | |
