The results of pneumatic pressure treatment of 45 cancer patients with swelling of an extremity after operation and irradiation are presented. The treatment of the oedema was carried out with a Jobst pneumatic pressure device. 37 patients obtained relief according to evaluation made immediately after treatment, and 17 patients maintained a favourable result for more than 12 months. The treatment had no effect in 8 cases. As an oedematous extremity is the main debilitating factor in patients with cured breast carcinomas, pneumatic pressure treatment is highly recommended.
本文介绍了对45例癌症患者术后及放疗后肢体肿胀进行气压治疗的结果。水肿治疗采用乔斯特气压装置。根据治疗后立即进行的评估，37例患者症状缓解，17例患者在12个月以上保持良好效果。8例患者治疗无效。由于水肿肢体是乳腺癌治愈患者的主要致残因素，强烈推荐气压治疗。
