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 looks at a combination treatment to improve swelling in one arm caused by lymphedema. You may be a good candidate if your arm swelling has not fully improved with standard compression therapy and you are able to have surgery.
This study looks at ways to prevent arm swelling (lymphedema) related to breast cancer after surgery to remove lymph nodes. It may help people who are getting axillary lymph node dissection lower the chance of long-term swelling.
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 trial studies whether a noninvasive light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce breast cancer–related lymphedema, which is swelling in the arm or chest area due to lymph fluid buildup. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to follow a set treatment and follow-up schedule to see if symptoms improve safely.
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.
