Lymphoedema: Understanding

Lymphoedema: Overview

Lymphoedema is a chronic disease marked by the increased collection of lymphatic fluid in the body, causing swelling, which can lead to skin and tissue changes. The chronic, progressive accumulation of protein-rich fluid within the interstitium and the fibro-adipose tissue exceeds the capacity of the lymphatic system to transport the fluid.

Symptoms
The symptoms of Lymphoedema include:

• Distal swelling in the extremities including the arms, hands, legs, feet; swelling proximally in the breast, chest, shoulder, pelvis, groin, genitals, face/intraoral tissues
• Restricted range of motion in the joints because of swelling and tissue changes
• Skin discoloration
• Pain and altered sensation
• Limb heaviness;
• Difficulty fitting into clothing

Diagnosis
Lymphedema is often confused with other causes of extremity edema and enlargement. Diagnosis is suspected by evaluating the history and physical examination. Lymphoscintigraphy confirms the diagnosis. Imaging is unnecessary to make the diagnosis but can be used as confirmation, assessment of the extent of involvement, and help to determine therapeutic intervention. Newer technologies include 3-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), ultrasound, and bioelectrical impedance analysis. Ultrasound is useful to exclude other etiologies like DVT, venous insufficiency and can also help in identifying tissue changes and masses that might be the cause of lymphatic compression. CT and MRI can investigate soft tissue edema with good sensitivity and specificity, but they are relatively expensive.

Treatment
Lymphedema is a progressive disease, and early diagnosis and treatment are paramount. Critical to diagnose and treat both mild and early onset cases to halt the progression of this lifelong and often debilitating condition. For patients to improve their knowledge base and learn helpful evidence-based management and coping strategies, patients must be referred to a specialist holding certification in lymphedema treatment and management eg.physician, an occupational therapist, or physical therapist. Decongestive lymphedema therapy (DLT): Is the primary treatment for moderate-to-severe lymphedema and mobilizes lymph and dissipate fibrosclerotic tissue. Manual lymph drainage (MLD): Light lymph massage designed to increase lymph flow. Compression: Helps with drainage but can increase the risk of infection. Skincare: Fastidious skin care is essential to prevent secondary skin infections. Exercise: Light exercise promotes lymph drainage and protein absorption via muscle contraction. Drug therapy acts as adjunctive only for pain control or secondary infection.

Lymphoedema Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Lymphoedema report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Lymphoedema Emerging Drugs

Lymfactin: Herantis PharmaLymfactin is currently in Phase II trial of clinical study. It is being developed by Herantis Pharma. Lymfactin is derived from the scientific discovery of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C (VEGF-C), the natural human protein necessary for the growth of new lymphatic vessels. It is a gene therapy product, which delivers the human gene coding for VEGF-C and thereby promotes the formation of new lymphatic vessels. Lymfactin is administered locally at the damaged site of the lymphatic system with the aim of repairing those injuries.
