Measuring fluid buildup in cancer patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had breast cancer with radiotherapy in the last 6 months, or another cancer with chemotherapy in the last 2 months.
- You have visible swelling in at least one arm (for breast cancer) or at least one leg (for other cancers).
- You are being treated at the oncology clinic or ward at Aalborg University Hospital in Denmark.
- You can speak and read Danish.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or metal implants, and you are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or on dialysis.

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 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 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 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 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 is developing a tool to screen for, diagnose, and evaluate lower-limb lymphedema (leg swelling caused by lymph fluid). It may help patients get a more accurate diagnosis and better monitoring of their condition.
