1 Cancer. 2  If cancer cells block lymphatic vessels, lymphedema may result. 3  For instance, a tumor growing near a lymph node or lymph vessel could enlarge enough to block the flow of the lymph fluid. 4  Infection. 5  An infection of the lymph nodes or parasites can restrict the flow of lymph fluid.
One main lymph node area (the armpit, or axilla) and two secondary lymph node areas (the internal mammary and supraclavicular regions) filter the lymph fluid draining away from the breast area. Since the job of the lymph nodes is to filter out bad guys like cancer cells, this is a logical place to look for breast cancer cells that have escaped the original tumor and are trying to go elsewhere in the body. Cancer cells may also leave the breast through the bloodstream and bypass the lymph nodes.
