This trial tests a surgical flap procedure that may help prevent arm lymphedema (swelling) in women with breast cancer who have lymph node removal and radiation. It is for patients with a higher body weight and confirmed cancer spread to the armpit lymph nodes.
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 study looks at ways to prevent arm swelling (lymphedema) related to breast cancer after surgery to remove lymph nodes. It may help people who are getting axillary lymph node dissection lower the chance of long-term swelling.
This trial tests a comprehensive prevention program to reduce lymphedema—a swelling in the arm—after breast cancer surgery that removes lymph nodes. If you qualify, you'll learn special exercises and care steps to lower your risk.
This trial studies whether a noninvasive light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce breast cancer–related lymphedema, which is swelling in the arm or chest area due to lymph fluid buildup. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to follow a set treatment and follow-up schedule to see if symptoms improve safely.
