Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL) commonly develops within the first two years following surgical intervention and its incidence varies depending on the surgical method used. The incidence of lymphedema after Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) is around 5%, whereas it increases to 30-50% after Axillary Lymph Node Dissection (ALND). BCRL significantly impacts the quality of life (QoL) through physical symptoms such as swelling, pain, tightness, and limited range of motion, as well as psychosocial issues includi
