Lighthouse Lymphedema Conference

The Lighthouse Lymphedema Conference is hosted each year by the Lighthouse Lymphedema Network. Lymphedema is a condition in which lymph fluid builds up in the tissues and can be the result of cardiac or renal issues, problems with vein function, side effects from treatment of cancer, or malformation of the lymph vessels.  Lighthouse Lymphedema conferences feature renown speakers who share cutting edge research and treatment information about lymphedema.
