American Society of Lymphology
The study of the lymphatic system, Lymphology, has increasingly generated
interest among physicians, allied health professionals, and patients in the
United States. At the same time, there remains an insufficient number of well-

reimbursement guidelines. In support of its mission, the ASL's intention is
to establish this field of medicine in the United States and to foster opportunities
and interest in lymphology for both health professionals and patients.
