Studying better ways to find breast swelling after cancer treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 to 85
- You had breast-conserving surgery with possible lymph node removal
- You have no cancer left in the breast after surgery
- You completed radiation therapy and all other breast cancer treatment (except some hormone blockers or Herceptin) at least 3 months ago
- You can read and understand English
- You are willing to follow study procedures and sign a consent form

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 trial looks at whether scheduled measurements can spot early swelling (lymphedema) in people with breast cancer. It may help find problems sooner so treatment or prevention steps can start earlier.
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 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 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 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.
