Jacobsen, Juliet LU and Blinderman, Craig D (2011) In Journal of Pain and Symptom Management 41(6). p.7-1094
Abstract

Subcutaneous lymphatic drainage has been reported to be an effective treatment for severe refractory lymphedema in patients with lymphatic accumulation because of obstructive cancer. We review published techniques for lymphatic drainage and describe two cases where these techniques were modified with good results.
