Trial to predict arm swelling risk during breast cancer radiation
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial checks if telling you about your personal risk of arm swelling (based on a computer prediction) helps prevent it. You'll wear a compression sleeve during radiation and be monitored closely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have invasive breast cancer in one breast (not both)
- You are 18 or older
- Your breast cancer surgery was completed with clean margins
- You need radiation to the lymph nodes under your arm or near your collarbone
- You are able to wear a compression sleeve for 8 hours a day during treatment

This trial uses special imaging before and after treatment to see if it can predict how well triple-negative breast cancer responds to chemotherapy plus immunotherapy given before surgery. Participation could help doctors tailor future treatments.
This trial tests a prediction tool (a “nomogram”) to estimate who is at risk of developing breast cancer–related lymphedema, or long-term arm swelling, after surgery. If you fit the surgery and lymph node criteria, your information may help personalize follow-up and prevention.
This trial aims to see if a shorter course of radiation after breast-conserving surgery affects arm swelling (lymphedema) in people with early breast cancer that has spread to 1 or 2 nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to learn if this approach is safe and effective.
This trial tests whether radiation to the lower armpit (level I-II axilla) works as well as more extensive surgery for women with early-stage breast cancer that has spread to one or two sentinel lymph nodes (with cancer size > 2 mm). It aims to find a gentler treatment that still keeps the cancer from coming back.
This trial tests whether wearing a special airwave compression sleeve after breast cancer surgery can prevent arm swelling (lymphedema). It is for women who are about to have lymph node surgery under their arm.
This trial studies whether some patients with early-stage breast cancer can safely skip a specific part of radiation to the inner chest (called internal mammary irradiation). It may reduce radiation side effects while still aiming to prevent the cancer from coming back.
