Background: As survival from malignancies continues to improve, a greater emphasis is being placed on the quality of life after cancer treatments. Lymphedema (LE) represents a common and devastating sequela of neoplastic therapies, even if its incidence in patients submitted to lymphadenectomy for prostatic cancer is still poorly documented. The purpose of the current study was to analyze the imaging findings provided by noncontrast magnetic resonance (MR) lymphography in secondary lower limb LE related to prostate cancer therapies.

前列腺癌继发性淋巴水肿的非对比磁共振淋巴成像

背景：随着恶性肿瘤生存率的不断提高，人们越来越重视癌症治疗后的生活质量。淋巴水肿 (LE) 是肿瘤治疗的常见且破坏性后遗症，即使其在因前列腺癌接受淋巴结切除术的患者中的发生率仍鲜有记载。本研究的目的是分析非对比磁共振 (MR) 淋巴造影术在与前列腺癌治疗相关的继发性下肢 LE 中提供的成像结果。
