Extremity volume was calculated using circumferential measurements and the truncated cone formula technique. Response to treatment was evaluated using the percentage reduction of excess volume formula, which was obtained by calculating the extremity volume before and after treatment. The median percentage reduction of excess volume was 27.7% (IQR,13.6\u201050.3). The history of skin infection was related to lower percentage reduction of excess volume (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.001). Although percentage reduction of excess volume was positively correlated with education level (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.286, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.031), percentage reduction of excess volume was negatively correlated with lymphedema duration (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = \u22120.361, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.006), postoperative duration (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = \u22120.314, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.018), percentage of excess volume (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = \u22120.398, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.002), and number of complete decongestive therapy sessions (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = \u22120.436, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.001). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the independent variables for percentage reduction of excess volume were percentage of excess volume (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.009) and education level (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.021).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Complete decongestive therapy is an effective method in patients with breast cancer related\u2010lymphedema.
