Abstract
Background: Secondary lymphedema, resulting from damage to lymphatic vessels, is a common sequela following surgical removal of lymph nodes for cancer. Current therapeutics for treating lymphedema are limited and further research on underlying causes is warranted. Published studies on molecular mechanisms of lymphedema primarily focus on lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), which comprise the innermost lining of lymphatic capillaries and...
