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 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 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 study tests a surgical technique that moves a small piece of tissue from the chest wall to the armpit area during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it can stop arm swelling (lymphedema) from happening after radiation therapy.
This study tests an early intervention for women who develop mild arm swelling after breast cancer surgery that included lymph node removal. The goal is to see if early treatment can prevent lymphedema from getting worse.
