helps differentiate lymphedema from other potential cancer-related causes of edema such as deep vein thrombosis [19]. Lymphangiography was used extensively in the past as an imaging technique, but it is associated with inflammation, scarring, and atrophy of the lymph vessels that can further impair lymph transport capacity.
