Breast cancer lymphedema screening to detect early swelling
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether scheduled measurements can spot early swelling (lymphedema) in people with breast cancer. It may help find problems sooner so treatment or prevention steps can start earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer.
- You can safely be positioned for the scans/tests (for example, arm out to about 90 degrees) and stand still for measurements.
- You should not have breast cancer that has spread to distant organs (metastatic disease) causing swelling.
- You have not been previously diagnosed with breast cancer.
- You have no history of lymphedema (past or current).
- You are not pregnant at the time of enrollment, and you do not have heart implants that would make the measurement test unsafe.

This trial looks at new tools to detect lymphedema (breast or arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. If you had breast-conserving surgery, radiation, and have finished active therapy (except certain hormone treatments), researchers want to see if a simple device can spot fluid buildup early.
This study is looking at whether targeted therapy for breast cancer changes the risk of arm swelling (lymphedema). It is a screening trial that uses a machine to measure arm size and check for any swelling early on.
This trial tests a new way to measure arm swelling (lymphedema) early in women who have had or will have breast cancer surgery. It aims to catch swelling sooner so treatment can start faster.
This study looks at how and when swelling (lymphedema) happens after breast cancer surgery on the armpit lymph nodes. You may be followed closely after your planned one-sided procedure to better understand who gets swelling and how it changes over time.
This study looks at why some people feel arm swelling (lymphedema) after breast cancer treatment even when tests don't show swelling. It follows people who are about to have breast surgery with lymph node removal and checks how they feel over time.
This study tests if performing immediate lymphatic reconstruction during lymph node removal can prevent lymphedema (arm swelling) in women with inflammatory breast cancer. If you qualify, the procedure may help lower your risk of long-term swelling.
