Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema: Exploring Prevention, Treatment, and Robotic Solutions for Patients sponsored by MMI (Medical Microinstruments, Inc.)

During this session, Graham Schwarz, MD FACS, an expert in oncologic reconstruction and lymphatic surgery from the Cleveland Clinic, will provide a comprehensive overview of lymphedema, particularly as it relates to breast cancer survivors. Attendees will learn about the current landscape of lymphedema surgery, and how advanced robotic technologies are helping to expand access to care for patients living with lymphatic conditions like breast cancer-related lymphedema.

Topics will include:
• An overview of breast cancer-related lymphedema
• Current treatment options for managing symptoms
• Preventative measures and best practices to minimize risk
• Advancements in robotic-assisted lymphatic surgery with the Symani® Surgical System
• Future directions and opportunities for using robotic technologies in the treatment of lymphatic conditions

Dr. Schwarz currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Department of Plastic Surgery and Director of the Microsurgery and Breast Reconstruction Fellowship at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic, a LE&RN Center of Excellence.

About Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN):

LE&RN's mission is to fight lymphatic diseases through education, research, and advocacy. We seek to accelerate the prevention, treatments and cures for lymphedema, lipedema, lymphatic anomalies, and the continuum of lymphatic diseases.

About LE&RN

The Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN) is an internationally recognized non-profit organization founded in 1998 to fight lymphatic disease (LD) through education, research, and advocacy. Lymphatic diseases include lymphedema (LE), lipedema, and lymphatic anomalies. LE&RN is equally committed to investigating preventive and therapeutic benefits for a broad array of diseases that are impacted by lymphatic function, such as heart disease, obesity, AIDS, Rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and cancer metastasis.

To accomplish these goals, LE&RN sponsors research fellowship grants, an international patient registry and biorepository, live-stream symposiums, the peer-reviewed journal Lymphatic Research & Biology, weekly e-newsletters, scholarship grants to lymphedema therapists, conference travel awards to young researchers, and a vibrant website with features such as Ask the Experts, connecting patients with the field’s more renowned practitioners. LE&RN has Chapters and Centers of Excellence globally. In 2016, LE&RN created World Lymphedema Day on March 6th, which was established by unanimous vote of the United States Senate.
