Only 11 hospitals (18.97%) had treatment rooms dedicated to conservative treatment of lymphedema, 9 hospitals (15.52%) had opened lymphedema clinics, and 15 hospitals (25.86%) had professional international lymphedema therapists. All the 58 hospitals had different degrees of prevention and management of breast cancer-related lymphedema.Conclusions:The comprehensive management of lymphedema has not yet been achieved, and the management standards of lymphedema also need to be further improved.
