When will there be a cure for lymphedema?

Not in near future: Lymphatic reconstruction is still a chimeric notion, all available methods have failed.

No time soon: As dr. Katz said, a cure at present is a long way off. As dr. Wright said, though, control is possible with diet, exercise, lymphatic massage, and compression.
