Community ‐based lymphedema risk reduction programs for cancer survivors: An Internet survey of public health nurses

Achieving this requires further investigation of the needs of survivors of cancer in the community, communicating these needs to governmental agencies, and organizing and delivering comprehensive training programs about lymphedema risk‐reduction strategies for government‐employed public health nurses.
