Description: Stanley Rockson, professor of medicine at the Stanford University Medical Center, focuses on the new and emerging treatments for lymphedema, the swelling that occurs when a blockage in the lymphatic system prevents the lymph fluid in the arm or leg from draining adequately. As the fluid accumulates, the swelling continues. It frequently follows surgery for cancer and is an ongoing challenge for the patient.
