In addition to the typical clinical symptoms, the diagnosis "malignant lymphedema" also requires the confirmation of a tumor or a metastasis obstructing lymph flow. With the standard physical treatment of edema described by Asdonk successful clinical management of malignant lymphedema is also possible. The sole contraindication of manual lymph drainage is, we believe, locoregional tumor recurrence, which can be completely eliminated by the immediate initiation of radical tumor treatment. The tumor recurrence is the result not of falsely indicated manual lymph drainage, but of inadequate primary treatment that leaves behind residual tumor tissue, the early detection of which still remains an unresolved problem. Manual lymph drainage is indispensable for improving the quality of life of tumor patients with lymphedema.
