Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Lower limb lymphedema (LLL) is a frequent complication after gynecological cancer treatment, with a significant impact on quality of life. Despite the common use of compression therapy in managing established lymphedema, its role in prevention remains insufficiently explored.
METHODS: In this prospective randomized study, 64 women treated for gynecological malignancies were assigned to either a compression group (CG) using medium-pressure stockings (23-32 mmHg) or a no-compression group (NCG). All participants received standard education and physical activity guidance. Limb volume, symptom burden, and quality of life were assessed over 12 months.
RESULTS: The incidence of LLL was significantly lower in the CG (3.4%) compared to the NCG (38%, p = 0.003). Compression use resulted in significant reductions in limb volume and symptom severity, as well as improved physical functioning. Compliance with compression therapy was high, and patients reported good comfort and usability.
CONCLUSIONS: Medium-pressure compression stockings combined with education and physical activity are effective and well-tolerated in preventing LLL following gynecological cancer treatment.
