Resumen
Prostate cancer patients that receive treatment (surgery of radiation therapy) directed to the pelvic lymph nodes may suffer from secondary lymphedema in the lower limbs and/or the genital area. Despite its potential impact on quality of life, reports on secondary lymphedema after prostate cancer therapy are scarce and prevalence rates vary between different studies. Here we perform a systematic literature search to estimate the prevalence of lymphedema after surgery, radiation therapy, or both, to the pelvic lymph nodes in men with prostate cancer.
