The removal of some lymph sections during cancer treatments, such as lymph vessels or lymph nodes, might lead to lymphedema. For instance, lymph nodes might be removed to prevent breast cancer cells from spreading. The surgeon will attempt to limit damages to the lymphatic system, though this is not always possible. This, people with cancer treatment might be at a higher risk of developing this health condition. Some common cancers where this occurs include melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer, penile cancer, prostate cancer, vulval cancer, or cervical cancer. [9]
