Breast cancer-related lymphoedema can be commonly encountered within a community nurse's role. The severity of lymphoedema can range considerably, from those who are considered 'at risk' due to breast cancer treatment, to individuals with highly complex oedema from advanced disease. This article provides an overview of breast cancer-related lymphoedema, including the risk factors for developing lymphoedema and the impact lymphoedema has physically, psychologically and socially. The treatments for lymphoedema, including clinical practical advice and skills, are presented to support ongoing personal development. A collaborative approach between community nurses and lymphoedema clinics is recommended to ensure that patients receive the best care possible.
