MRI scans to study swelling from breast cancer
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study uses special MRI (a detailed body scan) to better evaluate arm or hand swelling caused by breast-cancer–related lymphedema. It may help doctors understand how to measure lymphedema more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult with lymphedema related to breast cancer
- You must not be pregnant during the MRI study
- You must be able to safely get an MRI scan
- You must not have certain metal implants or metal in the body that MRI can’t safely scan
- You must not have certain hearing-related implants/devices that affect MRI safety

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study uses a breast MRI scan to look at suspicious areas in the breast. It may help doctors better tell which breast changes need closer follow-up like a biopsy.
This study uses a special type of MRI called diffusion-weighted imaging to help diagnose breast cancer and check on it after treatment. It is for women who have a breast lump or whose breast cancer has returned after chemotherapy or radiation.
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 advanced MRI imaging techniques to better diagnose breast cancer and evaluate treatment response. If you have a suspicious breast lesion, this trial may help doctors see it more clearly before biopsy or surgery.
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.
