Messages from Members and Clinical Professionals
To make a difference for lymphedema patients, lymphatic research is key.
Lymphatic research is vital to unravel new perspectives on the pathophysiology of lymphedema as such information will be pivotal in the development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics which are currently limited.
Each medical breakthrough begins with discovery and development in a lab. To transform scientific knowledge to clinical studies, and to final commercialisation, contributions from all sectors are needed.
