Preventing lymphedema in cancer patients through monitoring
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple standing test can help spot early signs of lymphedema (swelling) in cancer patients. If you are being treated at the Greater Poland Cancer Centre, you may be able to help doctors learn how to prevent this side effect.

This study tests a new way to measure fluid buildup (swelling) in cancer patients. It may help doctors better manage lymphedema after breast cancer radiation or swelling in the legs from chemotherapy.
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 what to do to help prevent or better manage leg swelling (lymphedema) after treatment for certain gynecologic cancers. You may be asked to use a diary or app and complete questionnaires so the team can track symptoms over time.
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 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.
