Prevention study for leg swelling after gynecologic cancer treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at what to do to help prevent or better manage leg swelling (lymphedema) after treatment for certain gynecologic cancers. You may be asked to use a diary or app and complete questionnaires so the team can track symptoms 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 an early approach to help prevent lower-limb lymphedema (chronic leg swelling) after lymph node surgery and radiotherapy for gynecologic cancer. If you’re at risk, it may help your legs stay less swollen and reduce complications.
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 trial tests if a surgical procedure called lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) can reduce swelling in the leg caused by lymphedema. It's for people with mild to moderate lymphedema who have been cancer-free for at least one year.
This trial tests whether virtual reality-based exercises can help reduce leg swelling caused by lymphedema after gynecological or other cancer surgery. It may be a good option if you have lymphedema in one leg and can commit to daily sessions for a month.
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.
