Additional articles were nominated by topic experts for inclusion or exclusion, and articles from 2010 and 2011 were also included, as appropriate. <strong>Lymphedema</strong> case series were included, if cases were ≥10. Gray literature, non-refereed articles, abstracts, and dissertations were excluded. Topic experts categorized evidence using the research grading system from the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Putting Evidence into Practice (PEP) level <strong>of</strong> evidence guidelines 1 or alternative rigorous categorization. PEP level <strong>of</strong> evidence categorization was applied by consensus among topic authors and confirmed by editors. The ALFP will produce a series <strong>of</strong> lymphedema manuscripts for publication in 2011 and 2012 and will provide summaries <strong>of</strong> the systematic review for incorporation in the update <strong>of</strong> the Best Practice Document (second edition). 1 Steelman, V.
