LYMPHEDEMA

This study is testing whether a shorter, 1-week radiation treatment is as effective as the standard 3-week treatment for breast cancer patients who need radiation after surgery. The main goal is to see if the shorter treatment causes less arm swelling (lymphedema) while still con…

This study aims to find better ways to detect lymphedema, a potential swelling complication, at its earliest stages after breast cancer patients have lymph nodes removed. Researchers will compare whether detailed questionnaires filled out by patients can identify lymphedema as we…

This study is testing small, wearable sensors that stick to the skin to see if they can detect early signs of arm swelling (lymphedema) in cancer survivors. Researchers want to see if these sensors, which measure tiny changes in tissue, can tell the difference between a healthy a…

This study is testing a new tool designed to measure arm circumference, which helps monitor for lymphedema (swelling) after breast cancer surgery. Researchers want to see if this device is more accurate, faster, and easier for both nurses and patients to use compared to a standar…

This study is testing whether more frequent screening for arm swelling (lymphedema) after breast cancer surgery can help prevent this painful side effect. Researchers are comparing intensive screening using a special measuring device against routine care in 260 patients. The goal…

This study aims to understand which physical therapy approaches work best for common muscle and joint problems by analyzing the treatment records of 4 million patients. Researchers will look back at existing therapy notes to see how different care methods, like in-person or teleh…

This study is collecting saliva, blood, and tissue samples from 100 adults with lymphedema to store for future research. The goal is to discover biological markers that could help doctors better understand the disease and optimize future surgical treatments. Participants are not …
