Authors: AF Tsyb ( ) , MS Bardychev ( ) , LI Guseva ( )

Abstract

The results of clinical examination and treatment of 96 patients with secondary limb edemas, devel­oped at late periods after radiation therapy of malignant tumors are discussed. The genesis of edema is accounted both for direct radiation in­jury of lymphatics and blood vessels (veins) and fibrous changes of tissue in irradiated areas.
