>We are planning a patient information brochure on prevention of
lymphoedema following treatment for breast cancer.=A0 We think to give this
brochure to any patient who underwent to a surgical breast procedure
(mastectomy of any kind).=A0 We're searching for the evidence about the
utility of this kind of information but so far we found none.

With a MEDLINE search you can use the following search strategy:
breast neoplasms[mh] AND Lymphedema[mh] AND (Education[mh] OR
Teaching[mh]) OR Training Support[mh])
This query works on PubMed
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/medline.html) and retrieves about 20
citations such as:
Runowicz CD.

trends.=20
