Correspondence to "Online Information on Lymphedema: Systematic Review of the Quality of Online Patient Resources".

Lymphedema represents a chronic and debilitating disorder affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide, with increasing trends due to population ageing and rising cancer incidence rates. The quality of online information patients can have access to seems to be critical in guiding them and their choices. The Ensuring Quality Information for Patients tool helps us in highlighting the lack of comprehensive coverage of all the relevant topics and procedural benefits for lymphedema disease. In this regard, surgeons and specialists still have a central role in actively leading their patients in navigating this complex field, warning them of possible misinformation and supporting them during counseling.
