Every year, thousands of breast cancer survivors in India walk out of hospitals after treatment — relieved, hopeful, and ready to rebuild their lives. But for many of them, the journey does not end in the operating theatre. It follows them home in the form of persistent swelling, heaviness, and discomfort that no one adequately warned them about. That condition is lymphedema — and it remains one of the most underdiagnosed, undertreated, and poorly understood complications in post-surgical breast cancer care.
The question is: are our healthcare professionals equipped enough to handle it?
The Breast and Lymphedema Society Ghaziabad believes the answer must be yes — and they are doing something decisive about it.
A Society Built on a Clear Purpose
Founded with a multi-pronged mission, the Breast and Lymphedema Society India is not just another medical association. It is a dedicated professional initiative that bridges the gap between clinical knowledge and practical application in breast care and upper limb swelling after mastectomy management. Their vision is bold — to create a one-stop solution for lymphedema care across the country, so patients no longer shuttle between multiple hospitals for a condition that deserves comprehensive, unified attention.
The society is led by two extraordinary medical minds. Dr. Seema Singh, Associate Director of Surgical Oncology and Robotic Oncosurgery at Max Institute of Cancer Care, Vaishali, brings over 14 years of precision-based oncological expertise. Dr. Nandini R, a gold medalist in MS and MCh, is an internationally trained Plastic, Reconstructive, and Microvascular Surgeon with deep expertise in oncoplastic surgery education and limb salvage procedures. Together, they lead one of the most credible clinical training programs in the country today.
What This Workshop Actually Teaches
This is not a passive seminar. This is immersive, structured, evidence-based lymphedema care training designed to permanently upgrade your clinical toolkit.
The program is divided into four focused modules. The first module builds your foundation — covering lymphatic anatomy and physiology of the breast and upper limb, clinical staging, risk assessment, and preventive strategies that improve breast cancer survivorship outcomes long before complications arise.
The second module goes deeper into comprehensive management protocols — including compression therapy training, rehabilitation prescription, exercise planning, and long-term monitoring strategies that keep patient quality of life at the center.
Module three is where hands-on practice begins in earnest. Participants learn decongestive therapy techniques, pneumatic compression application, clinical lymphedema management approaches, skin care protocols, and taping with compression dressings — skills that can be implemented in any setup, large or small.
The fourth module covers advanced procedures including PICC line insertion, chemoport removal, ultrasound-guided venous access, and venous flow meter application — giving participants complete clinical command over post-surgical swelling treatment in breast cancer patients.
Who Should Be in That Room
The workshop is designed for general surgeons, surgical oncologists, physiotherapy for lymphedema practitioners, breast care nurses, rehabilitation specialists, and paramedical staff. If your work brings you into contact with breast cancer patients at any stage, this training was built for you.
Healthcare education of this caliber — led by faculty with experience at AIIMS New Delhi, Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute, Max Hospitals, and Yashoda — is rare. And the fact that it is happening at the Breast lymphedema workshop Ghaziabad means professionals from across Delhi NCR, Noida, and surrounding regions have no excuse to miss it.
