"This book provides evidence-based support for the science of lymphology as well as gold standard therapy for all edema etiologies so that lymphedema specialists can differentiate and adapt therapy by employing this book's practical guidance to improve clinical outcomes. The main appeal if this book is that it's written for the actively involved lymphedema clinician as a guide towards navigating many common challenges seen day-to-day in lymphedema clinics. Although all Certified Lymphedema Therapists receive the same basic knowledge most courses of education cannot convey the nuance and complexity of adapting CDT in one-on-one therapy settings. This book is unique even when compared to other well-regarded textbooks in that practical well illustrated solutions are explored in great detail on topics that are commonly not addressed elsewhere such as; genital, head and neck, pediatric and palliative patient types. This book is completely current with the state of our scientific understanding of genetics, physiology, surgical therapy, incidence and prevalence, Quality of Life and research initiatives as well as early intervention and surveillance to lessen lymphedema's chronic impact"--
