Lymphological diseases are common, but diagnosis and treatment are often difficult. In everyday clinical practice, insufficient attention has usually been paid to such diseases, partly because curative treatments have been lacking until now. The development of new diagnostic and surgical therapeutic procedures makes it possible to achieve a cure for some patients and spare them decades of symptomatic therapy. Editors, authors and the two commentators, Peter S. Mortimer and Christian Schuchhardt, present relevant lymphological principles and clinical pictures, including rare diseases. This guide to everyday lymphological practice, a "Vademecum Lymphologicum", is aimed equally at "novices and adepts". It is focussed on the practical implementation of diagnosis as well as patient consultation and care: Basics of lymphology, "From symptom to diagnosis", comprehensive clinic from a fundamental and specialised perspective, conservative and surgical therapy, social medicine, assessment as well as advice on therapy support through sport and nutrition for lymph patients are concluded with an outlook into the scientific future of lymphology. Each article opens with a "tip from the editors" and ends with "What is important to know about lymphology?". The book is aimed at medical and non-medical professionals who see and treat patients with lymphological conditions.The basis of the English translation of this book, originally in German, was facilitated by artificial intelligence. The content was later thoroughly updated, enhanced and revised by the authors for accuracy.

Lymphologische Krankheitsbilder sind häufig, oft bereiten Diagnosestellung und Therapie jedoch Schwierigkeiten. Im klinischen Alltag wurde solchen Erkrankungen zumeist nicht ausreichend Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt, auch weil bislang kurative Behandlungen fehlten. Die Entwicklung neuer diagnostischer und vor allem operativer therapeutischer Verfahren ermöglicht, für einen Teil der Patienten Heilung zu erzielen und ihnen eine jahrzehntelange symptomatische Therapie zu ersparen.Herausgeber, Autoren und die beiden Kommentatoren Peter S. Mortimer und Christian Schuchhardt stellen relevante lymphologische Grundlagen und Krankheitsbilder - auch unter Einschluss eher seltener Erkrankungen - vor. Dieser Wegbegleiter durch den lymphologischen Alltag, ein „Vademecum Lymphologicum", richtet sich gleichermaßen an „Novizen und Adepten“. Er ist auf die praktische Umsetzung von Diagnosefindung sowie Beratung und Betreuung der Patienten fokussiert: Basics der Lymphologie, „Vom Symptom zur Diagnose", umfassende Klinik aus grundlegender und spezieller Sicht, konservative und operative Therapie, Sozialmedizin, Begutachtung sowie Hinweise zu Therapieunterstützung durch Sport und Ernährung für Lymphpatienten werden mit einem Ausblick in die wissenschaftliche Zukunft der Lymphologie abgeschlossen. Jeder Beitrag wird mit einem „Tipp der Editoren" eröffnet und endet mit der Frage „Was ist lymphologisch wichtig zu wissen?“. Das Buch wendet sich an diejenigen ärztlichen und nicht-ärztlichen Berufsgruppen, die Patienten mit lymphologischen Krankheitsbildern sehen und behandeln.
