Abstract

Lymphedema is a chronic disease that generates lymph accumulation and can affect women who have undergone breast cancer treatment, with decreased flow in the lymphatic system and accumulation of lymph in the interstitial space. Kinesio taping (KT) has been shown to be an effective treatment technique for reducing the volume of lymphedema in mastectomized women. This study is a literature review of the narrative type carried out through a database searched for in virtual libraries: Pubmed, Lilacs, Medline, Scielo and Bireme in the English and Portuguese languages. The evidence available that allow KT associated with other techniques to demonstrate a reduction of lymphedema, bringing benefits to these patients.
