Study of lymph blockage in lymphedema after breast cancer
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at lymphatic “drainage” problems (lymphedema) and how they develop after breast cancer treatment. It may help doctors better understand lymphedema and improve care for people who meet the study safety requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You developed lymphedema that started on its own (primary) or after breast cancer treatment (secondary).
- You are 18 to under 75 years old.
- You have no cancer coming back for more than 3 years after your cancer surgery.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 35.
- You have a care plan for lymphedema and use a compression garment/orthosis on the affected arm/leg.

This trial looks at factors that affect study experiences for adults with lymphedema, including how they cope with scheduled visits and treatment during the study. It may help researchers improve how future lymphedema studies are run.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut and how they relate to lymphedema (swelling) and repeated skin infections in the affected limb. It compares people who have many infections with those who have none, to better understand why some get infections and others don't.
This study collects samples (like blood and possibly lymph fluid-related tests) to help doctors better tailor treatment for lymphedema. It may help researchers find ways to improve outcomes for people treated for swollen, fluid-rich tissue.
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 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 trial tests whether a self-guided physiotherapy program can help manage lymphedema (arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. If you have had breast cancer-related lymphedema for a while and haven't had recent treatment for it, this study may offer a way to take control of your symptoms.
