Screening for Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Targeted Therapy
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer (early or advanced).
- You are currently taking a targeted therapy, which is a medicine that focuses on specific cancer cells.
- It has been at least 4 weeks since your last breast cancer surgery.
- You can raise your arm to the side at least 90 degrees (like making a T shape).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study looks at an early intervention for preventing or reducing arm swelling after breast cancer surgery that removed axillary lymph nodes. It is designed for people at higher risk of swelling, and uses measurements to track changes over time.
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 tests a medical device (Dayspring Technology) to reduce swelling in the arm caused by breast cancer treatment and lymph surgery. You may be eligible if you have one-sided arm swelling after lymphatic surgery and meet safety checks for the device.
This study looks at a combination treatment to improve swelling in one arm caused by lymphedema. You may be a good candidate if your arm swelling has not fully improved with standard compression therapy and you are able to have surgery.
