Using Hemopatch after lymph node surgery for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a special patch (Hemopatch) placed during surgery to remove lymph nodes under the arm. The patch may help reduce fluid build-up and improve recovery after breast cancer surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer that has not spread to distant organs (primary breast cancer).
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove lymph nodes under your arm (axillary dissection) as part of your breast cancer treatment.
- You are either male or female, of any age, and can have any type of breast cancer (histology).
- You may or may not have received chemotherapy or other treatments before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy).
- You have not had any surgery on the lymph nodes under your arm in the past.

This study tests a surgical technique that moves a small piece of tissue from the chest wall to the armpit area during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it can stop arm swelling (lymphedema) from happening after radiation therapy.
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 how doctors should operate on lymph nodes after you finish chemotherapy given before surgery. It may help improve treatment planning for people whose breast cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, but not to distant organs.
This trial looks at a combined approach to treat chronic lymphedema (long-term arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. Doctors will use different surgical techniques, alone or together, to see which works best.
This trial studies an additional treatment given after chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer that has spread to specific underarm lymph nodes. It may help some people reduce cancer returning, especially when tumors match certain growth and spread features.
This trial studies a more targeted surgery to remove cancer-involved lymph nodes in the armpit after you finish chemotherapy before surgery. It may help doctors better remove affected nodes while avoiding unnecessary tissue removal.
