ConditionsIn contrast to arm morbidity which is thoroughly described in literature, only a few studies investigated breast morbidity after breast cancer treatment. Currently, there is no consensus on the definition of breast edema and on standardized assessment criteria. Common criteria found in literature are an increased volume of the breast, peau d’orange, heaviness of the breast, redness of the skin, breast pain, skin thickening, hyperpigmented skin pores and a positive pitting sign.
