Mapping the Body's hidden drainage system to prevent swelling after cancer
NCT ID NCT05253352
Summary
This study aims to understand why some women develop painful arm swelling (lymphedema) after breast cancer treatment while others don't. Researchers will use special imaging to map the lymphatic drainage pathways in the arms of healthy women and breast cancer survivors who avoided lymphedema. The goal is to identify which natural variations in these pathways put women at higher risk, potentially leading to better prevention methods.
