Swelling of legs, also called lymphedema, can also be considered a warning symptom of prostate cancer. This occurs when the tumor invades the lymphatic system of the body. Lymphatic fluid builds up in different regions of the body causing swelling or edema. Lymphedema can compromise the daily movement of the patient. Consultation with the doctor is necessary for proper management of the swelling in legs and arms due to prostate cancer.
