What are NLN Position Papers?

The NLN Position Papers are drafted by the NLN Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) to reflect professional positions on key issues related to lymphedema and lymphology. These documents are reviewed every two years or when new scientific advances related to the topic occur.

We encourage you to distribute these documents among your doctors and other health care providers, including medical technicians and pharmacists, as well as support groups and at related educational events.

The NLN extends a very special thank you to the knowledgeable and extremely dedicated team of professionals donating their time, care and talents to this important project.
