WHAT WE DO

The main goal is to give simple and clear information about Lymhpoedema condition, in particular the type affecting cancer patients. The information is useful both for patients and their families, who can consult medical specialists in this field and therefore, through a correct diagnosis, be guided to an effective treatment. By visiting the website you will find brief and simple explanations about the Lymphatic System, what primary and secondary Lympoedema is, what the most useful recommendations for patients are.

WHAT WE DO FOR PEOPLE IN PRACTICAL TERMS

90x10x1

We organise meetings, training courses for doctors, physiotherapists and patients on manual treatment techniques, because only by constantly keeping these health care professionals updated, can the capacity of diagnosis and treatment of Lymphoedema be improved.

We organise events, fundraisings, public awareness campaigns and pressure actions on health care government to ensure that the rights of those who live every day with this condition are recognised.

We support and promote the research and study of this condition through the setting up of Scholarships and/or Research Grants for young Researchers within the hospitals and universities field or within recognised research institutes.
