Randomized controlled trial of the Breast Cancer Recovery Program for women with breast cancer-related lymphedema.

Evidence-based exercise and relaxation recommendations for people with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) are needed. We report a randomized controlled study of one program, designed to achieve synergistic improvements in physical and emotional BCRL symptoms. People in the treatment group received an exercise and relaxation program, The Breast Cancer Recovery Program (N=16).
