Effect of Complete Decongestive Therapy on Lymphoedema, Sleep Quality and Quality of Life in Metastatic Breast Cancer Patient – A Case Study
Lymphoedema is the accumulation of fluids with the high-protein content in the intercellular space, which is the most common complication seen in patients with breast cancer. In this study, we discuss the case of a 67-year-old female operated case of the left modified radical mastectomy in 2012. Aft...

description | Lymphoedema is the accumulation of fluids with the high-protein content in the intercellular space, which is the most common complication seen in patients with breast cancer. In this study, we discuss the case of a 67-year-old female operated case of the left modified radical mastectomy in 2012. After 9 years, she had recurrence on the right side and diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer Stage 3 B. She developed lymphoedema on the same side for which she was referred to physiotherapy for further management. Along with radiation treatment, physiotherapy intervention such as complete decongestive therapy (CDT) for lymphoedema was initiated for 10 days which included multilayer lymphoedema bandaging, manual lymphatic drainage and exercise therapy. At the beginning, volume difference was 1688 ml then on the 5(th) day, it was 1133 ml, and on the 10(th) day, it was 802 ml noted. There was significant reduction in the volume of the involved limb that led to improvement in the score of sleep quality and quality of life (QOL). The major aims of CDT are to improve lymph circulation and to prevent lymphatic stasis which improves the QOL and sleep quality. Patient education and counselling along with home programme of bandaging played a major role in the recovery of the patient. CDT plays an important role in reducing lymphoedema and improving the sleep quality and QOL in metastatic breast cancer patient. |
