Proposed Framework for Research Case Definitions of Lipedema

Living Well with Lipedema

Today, I have an excerpt from a presentation by Dr. Stanley Rockson at one of Lipedema Simplified’s Heart to Heart virtual events. Dr. Rockson is the Allan and Tina Neill Professor of Lymphatic Research and Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. As a principal investigator or co-investigator, he has been involved in numerous clinical trials researching various aspects of lymphatic disease, vascular biology and cardiovascular medicine. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Lymphatic Research and Biology and sits on the editorial board of Angiology and works closely with National Institutes of Health, in an advisory capacity to advance the agenda for lymphatic research. He has authored more than 250 scientific papers, reviews, book chapters, and books devoted to various aspects of lymphatic biology and disease, vascular biology, and cardiovascular medicine. In this excerpt, Dr. Rockson talks about the challenges we face as we try to understand the diagnosis and treatment of lipedema and his hope that future research will answer these questions.
